3 Research Health care is taking preventative or necessary medical procedures to improve a person's well- being. Helps people get medical care they need and live a healthier life. There are many programs that help others with their health care bills such as Medicare and Medicaid

4 Research Medicaid People and families with low incomes Poverty alone does not necessarily qualify someone for Medicaid. Largest source of funding for medical and health- related services for people with low income in the US Medicare Americans ages 65-and older and disabled people Has four parts: Part A Part B Part C Part D
