The idea
Medicare is US federal health coverage for older adults; Medicaid covers people with low income; universal health care provides government-funded access with little out-of-pocket cost.
In practice
A seventy-year-old covered by Medicare for doctor visits and hospital stays.
Where people slip
The course defines these systems descriptively and takes no position on health policy.
