Medicare is health insurance provided by the US government for people age 65 or older and certain individuals under the age of 65. Medicare alone may not cover all the costs of health care and it is recommended that seniors maintain secondary health insurance. The Department of Health and Human Services Medicare and Medicaid websites offer a wealth of information.
