Medicare is health insurance for persons over age 65, persons with end state renal disease and persons who receive Social Security disability payments. The individual must have 40 credits of "covered employment" (i.e., calendar quarters during which they paid into Medicare), or be the spouse or dependent of such individual. Medicare is funded by payroll taxes and administered by the Federal government. Medicaid provides care for indigent citizens under age 18 and their parents, persons over age 65, and those permanently and totally disabled. Medicaid is supervised by the Federal government, administered by the States, and funded by State and Federal taxes. [N.b., as a result of health insurance reform, by 2014 Medicaid will be available to any indigent citizen, regardless of age or disability.]

How are Medicare and Medicaid similar?

They bear a few similarities, some of which are: 1. They are primarily federally funded. While Medicare is entirely Federally funded thru taxes imposed upon employers and employees, Medicaid is a joint State-Federal program. 2. Both are funded by taxes. Although the money paid by employers and employees are called "contributions", in reality, neither can opt out of payment. 3. Both have a medical payment element. Among the benefits obtainable through Medicare is a form of health insurance for people who have "contributed" into the system for a stated period of time and who meet other prerequisites. Medicaid also provides medical care, although it is furnished to indigent persons.
