Unemployment insurance, welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are key components of the United States' social safety net. These programs are designed to provide financial support and health care access to individuals and families in need, particularly during times of economic hardship, retirement, or health-related challenges. Together, they aim to reduce poverty, promote economic stability, and ensure a minimum standard of living for vulnerable populations.
