Medicare is a public health insurance program for people aged 65 and older and younger people with disabilities. It was enacted in 1965 and has four parts that cover different services: Part A covers inpatient hospital care and nursing facility care. Part B covers doctor services and outpatient care. Part C covers all Part A and B benefits and sometimes prescription drugs. Part D covers only prescription drugs. The Affordable Care Act did not replace Medicare but helps some seniors afford private insurance.
