Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily available to individuals aged 65 and older, as well as those under 65 who have been receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for at least 24 months. It provides essential healthcare coverage for medical services, hospital visits, prescription drugs, and more.

Key Benefits of Medicare:

1. Comprehensive Healthcare Coverage: Medicare offers multiple parts to cover various medical needs:
Part A: Hospital insurance, covering inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing care, hospice care, and some home health services.
Part B: Medical insurance, covering outpatient care, doctor visits, and preventive services.
Part D: Prescription drug coverage.

2. Preventive Care: Medicare also covers preventive services, including screenings, vaccines, and wellness visits, to help recipients maintain their health.
3. Financial Security: For individuals who have been disabled and receiving SSDI benefits, Medicare offers a lifeline by covering many essential medical expenses that would otherwise be financially burdensome.
