Scenarios about 'medicare'
Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States primarily serving people aged 65 and older, established in 1965 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society" initiatives. The program fundamentally altered healthcare access for elderly Americans, reducing poverty among seniors and establishing a precedent for government involvement in healthcare provision.
