Question

Describe the differences between health services provided under Medicare (Part A versus Part B) and Medicaid. How would you respond to arguments that Medicare and Medicaid must be cut and consequently that health care benefits to older people must be limited?

Answer 1

Answer:
Medicare federal sponsored program associated with Social Security.
It is only available to all U.S. senior citizens of age over 65 years & also disabled person. Income is not eligibility criteria of it.
It includes:
•   Part A: coverage from Hospitalization
•   Part B:Insurance ( Medical )
•   Part C: supplemental insurance
•   Part D:Coverage( Prescription drugs)

Medicaid is a combined program of federal and state government.Its purpose is to helps poor & low-income families. Eligibility criteria of it is more strict than Medicare.
•   Medicare and Medicaid should not cut and consequently that health care benefits to older people should not limited. Because many poor and older age people need health protection and support.
