Is Medicare Or Medicaid For Old People? 
That is a great question ! I guess the answer depends upon what your definition is of old . Medicare is a program that was designed to provide seniors 65 or older the opportunity to receive affordable health care . There are instances when you can receive it before turning 65 , but that is the usual standard . Medicaid is different . It is a program designed to help elderly or low income people find affordable health care . Medicaid differs from Medicare in that it is State run , not Federally , so there can be great differences from state to state in costs and benefits . I hope that answers your question , if you would like more detail , contact me , I 'm happy to help . Thanks for asking !
