Medicare is federal health insurance mainly for people 65 and older and some younger people with disabilities.

It includes Part A for hospital care, Part B for medical services, Part D for prescription drugs, and Medicare Advantage plans as an alternative. Enrollment periods and costs change, so check official sources.
