People are typically required to accept Medicare because it is a federal health insurance program designed primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as certain younger individuals with disabilities. For healthcare providers, accepting Medicare can be a condition for participating in the program, which allows them to treat Medicare beneficiaries and receive reimbursement for their services. Additionally, many hospitals and medical practices rely on Medicare payments as a significant source of revenue, making it essential for them to accept the program. However, providers can choose not to accept Medicare, but this may limit their patient base.
