Which program primarily covers people aged 65 and older?
Correct Answer:
Medicare.
Explanation:
Understanding which health coverage targets older adults helps you see how programs are designed for specific groups. Medicare is the health insurance program that primarily serves people aged 65 and older. It was created to provide for seniors and offers parts that cover hospital care, medical services, and prescription drugs. Other programs serve different populations: Medicaid is needs-based coverage for low-income individuals of any age (though many seniors also rely on it); SCHIP is focused on children in families with limited income; and CHAMPVA provides coverage for certain veterans and their families. Since the question asks which program mainly covers those 65 and older, Medicare is the best fit.
