Age and disability are two of the several factors that hinder an individual from exercising his or her full potential. Not only that, there conditions also pose a big impediment in finding jobs that could serve as the financial resources for an individual. It is for this reason that the US government has come up with a particular social welfare that would specifically address these circumstances.

The concept of medicare gov is to provide healthcare assistance for individuals. To qualify, one must satisfy one of the three conditions of age and disability. First, it is for the benefits of individuals aged over 65 years old. Second, it provides help for people below 65 years of age but with certain disabilities. Third, individuals who have a permanent kidney failure condition regardless of age.

There are two general coverage and benefits in the Medicare program- Part A and Part B. Individuals who fulfil one of the aforementioned criteria are automatically qualified to receive the Part A coverage and benefits with only two restrictions: that the disabled does not have any work and that individuals aged 65 years above have either paid the necessary

Medicare taxes or are entitled with Social Security Benefits. Otherwise, it can be purchased. If the individual does not have enough funds to pay for the Medicare taxes, he or she is advised to contact the local security agency because the state can help in paying for the premium. While Part A of the Medicare program covers inpatient costs such as hospitalization, Part B of Medicare covers the outpatient costs such as doctors’ fees, physical therapists’ fees, etc. Unlike Part A, Part B is a fee based service.
