Medicare
A U.S. federal health program that subsidizes people who meet one of the following criteria:

1. An individual over the age of 65 who has been a U.S. citizen or permanent legal resident for five years.

2. An individual who is disabled and has collected Social Security for a minimum of two years.

3. An individual who is undergoing dialysis for kidney failure or who is in need of a kidney transplant.

4. An individual who has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS-Lou Gehrig's disease).

Medicare helps out people at a time in their lives when they may have serious health problems but lack the funding for treatment.

Notes:
Medicare is divided into two parts. The first part of the coverage encompasses in-patient hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health and hospice care. The second part of coverage encompasses almost all the necessary medical services (doctors' services, laboratory and x-ray services, wheelchairs, etc).
