1. medicare

   Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program in the United States that primarily benefits individuals aged 65 and older, and certain younger people with disabilities or terminal illnesses. It provides coverage for various healthcare services, including hospitalization, outpatient care, prescription drugs, skilled nursing facility care, home healthcare, and hospice care. It is divided into several parts, with each part covering specific services. Despite offering wide coverage, it doesn’t cover all medical expenses or the cost of most long-term care.

1. Medicare

   In the United States, Medicare is a national social insurance program, administered by the U.S. federal government since 1965, that guarantees access to health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older and younger people with disabilities as well as people with end stage renal disease and persons with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. As a social insurance program, Medicare spreads the financial risk associated with illness across society to protect everyone, and thus has a somewhat different social role from for-profit private insurers, which manage their risk portfolio by adjusting their pricing according to perceived risk. Medicare offers all enrollees a defined benefit. Hospital care is covered under Part A and outpatient medical services are covered under Part B. To cover the Part A and Part B benefits, Medicare offers a choice between an open-network single payer health care plan and a network plan, where the federal government pays for private health coverage. A majority of Medicare enrollees have traditional Medicare over a Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Part D covers outpatient prescription drugs exclusively through private plans or through Medicare Advantage plans that offer prescription drugs.

Examples of Medicare in a Sentence

2. President Obama:

   As we speak, Congress is working to fix the Medicare physician payment system. I have my pen ready to sign a good bipartisan bill.

3. General Brian H. Fletcher:

   I think it is not at all unprecedented for the secretary to exercise the same authorities that I was discussing with Justice Thomas here, the authorities to set conditions of participation for hospitals and other providers in Medicare and Medicaid to impose very detailed, very prescriptive requirements that would have very high compliance costs.

4. Erin Trish:

   I think that the issue is not that The PBMs can't negotiate low prices, but rather that The PBMs don't have a strong enough incentive to pass those on to the consumer( in the way that Costco does). More transparency and competition in the supply chain would help, as would improvements to Medicare Part D to enhance competition among plans.

5. Linda Fried:
