Medicare
Medicare is a federal and state health insurance program for people over the age of 65, those with disabilities, and those with certain income levels. The program provides coverage for hospital expenses, doctor visits, prescriptions, and other medical costs.
The different types of Medicare coverage are as follows:
– Part A: This covers inpatient hospital services and outpatient doctor visits. It also covers some preventive care services and medicines.
– Part B: This covers out-patient doctor visits and prescription drugs.
– Part D: This covers preventive care services, including screenings for cancer and cardiovascular disease. It also covers premiums for prescription drugs and other medical costs.
If you are covered by Medicare, be sure to keep your insurance card or certificate handy in case you need to contact your insurer or the Medicare office to resolve a dispute.
Medicaid
Medicaid is a government-funded health insurance program for low-income individuals and families. It is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Medicaid provides coverage for a variety of services, including hospitalizations, doctor visits, and prescriptions.
There are three types of Medicaid coverage: traditional Medicaid, expanded Medicaid, and premium assistance programs for lower income adults. Traditional Medicaid is the most common type of coverage and covers low-income individuals and families with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level (FPL). Expanded Medicaid is only available to states that have agreed to participate in the program and it covers an additional population of low-income individuals who have incomes above 133% but below 200% FPL. Premium assistance programs provide financial assistance to lower income adults who want to purchase private health insurance through the Marketplace.
There are some important things to know about Medicaid eligibility:
· Individuals must be residents of one of the participating states, have a qualifying income (as defined by the state), and be eligible for benefits under Title XIX of the Social Security Act (which covers medical care for people with low income).
· Children who are not covered by
Children’s Health Insurance Program
The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provides health coverage for children who are not covered by their parents’ health insurance. The program is available to families with incomes between 100% and 185% of the federal poverty level.
CHIP coverage is mandatory for children from birth until age 19, and parents can choose to continue CHIP coverage for their children until they reach 26 years old. CHIP also covers pregnant women, up to a certain point in their pregnancy. If you are not a U.S. citizen, your child may be eligible for Medicaid instead of CHIP.
More information about CHIP is available online at www.chip.gov or by calling 1-877-424-9243.

ACA/Obamacare
The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is a landmark legislation in the history of health care. Passed by Congress in 2010, it was signed into law by President Obama and became effective on January 1, 2014. The ACA is a sweeping reform of the U.S. healthcare system that aimed to improve access to quality, affordable health insurance for all Americans.
The ACA consists of two main components: the individual marketplaces (also known as exchanges), which are state-based marketplaces where people can purchase health insurance, and the Medicaid program, which provides healthcare coverage to low-income individuals and families.
The ACA also includes a number of other important provisions, including: mandatory coverage for children up to age 26 on their parents’ plans; a ban on lifetime caps on health care benefits; increased funding for Medicare; and tax credits to help low- and moderate-income individuals buy health insurance on the individual marketplaces.
Since its passage, the ACA has been subject to a number of legal challenges. In particular, the Trump administration has attempted to overturn or substantially change key aspects of the ACA, including through the use of executive orders and regulatory changes. However,
