What Is Medicare?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for those 65 or older, but is also available to young people with disabilities. Those with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) also qualify.
The Confusion of Medicare
While Medicare is useful to have, it also comes with a lot of confusion. For starters, Medicare doesn't pay everything, maybe about 80%.
