Medicare is for people over 65 who qualify for social security an Medicaid is for people with low income the reason that the government does this is because those low income people/family's can't pay for insurance and people over 65 need the insurance and the help on keeping them healthy. this is out ofmy personal finance book so im not sure if thats what you were looking for but here you go!
inadequately.
Most health care is nationalised, so it would be the Government, who provide health care using National Insurance, effectively a tax.
Most health insurance is regulated on the state level. The federal government has several laws that protect Americans and help to assure availability and affordability of health insurance coverage.
It depends on where you are as to how you get your insurance. In the United States, your employer ether has health insurance available or does not have health insurance available. Some musicians work for an employer who provide health insurance. Many do not provide it.
The Health Insurance Group provide insurance for individuals, families and businesses. They also provide health insurance for members of the armed forces and retired police officers who may sometimes struggle to get insurance.
Government health insurance is important because it is the only health care option available to some people. Programs like Medicaid service the children, the poor and the destitute while Medicare is designed for retirees. Other government health insurance options include Tricare, which treats active duty service members and their families, the Veterans Administration that provides health care for military veterans. Additionally, members of Congress and other government officials have their own health insurance plan. New government health insurance laws are going into effect that require all Americans to buy health insurance or face a fine. The move is intended to reduce average health insurance costs by forcing people who do not use health care to help offset the overall cost off coverage.

The different kinds of health insurance available include private health insurance, employer-sponsored health insurance, government-funded health insurance (such as Medicare and Medicaid), and health insurance marketplaces.
Employers only have to provide health insurance if they meet certain legal requirements. A business must have a certain number of full-time employees for it to be required to provide insurance for health coverage.
Yes, but Obama has created this as a loophole to please insurance companies while still allowing people to have government health care. The "fine" for not having health insurance (and therefore having government health care instead) is only $300 per year, which is MUCH less than Americans pay for health insurance. It's the same as putting in a $300 a year tax increase to pay for health care, but he didn't call it that to trick the insurance companies into supporting it!! Haha, smart guy!!
A compulsory insurance program for all Americans that would have the government finance citizens' medical care. This plan has been soundly opposed by the American Medical Association.
