Medicare

Medicare pertains to the federal health insurance program designed primarily for people who are 65 years of age or older. This topic encompasses debates and policies related to the funding, expansion, eligibility, and coverage of Medicare, including discussions on Medicare Advantage, prescription drug coverage (Part D), and potential reforms to improve or change the system. Voter interest in Medicare reflects differing viewpoints about the medical coverage that older adults and people with certain disabilities receive, in a manner that is financially sustainable and responsive to the challenges of a changing healthcare environment.
