What Is Medicare?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Medicare is the federal health insurance program of the United States, designed primarily for individuals aged 65 and older. It also provides coverage for certain younger individuals with qualifying disabilities or specific medical conditions such as End Stage Renal Disease.<\/p>

Established in 1965, Medicare currently serves more than 65 million Americans \u2014 providing essential health care coverage that protects both their well-being and their financial security.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
