Summary:
Medicare is our country’s health insurance program for people age 65 or older, certain people with disabilities who are under age 65 and people of any age who have permanent kidney failure. It provides basic protection against the cost of health care, but it doesn’t cover all medical expenses or the cost of most long-term care. This briefing paper focuses primarily on Medicare issues related to individuals receiving Social Security disability benefits.
