Social Security and Medicare are two key federal programs in the United States designed to provide financial support and healthcare to eligible citizens. Social Security primarily offers retirement benefits, disability income, and Survivor benefits to workers and their families, funded through payroll taxes. Medicare, on the other hand, is a health insurance program for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as certain younger people with disabilities, helping cover hospital visits, medical services, and prescription drugs. Together, these programs play a crucial role in ensuring the financial security and health of millions of Americans.
