[QUOTE="Etini Willie, post: 10920, member: 468"] The Health Insurance system in the US is sophisticated. Two of the components of the American Health Insurance system is Medicare and Medicaid. It seems a lot of people always confuse the two schemes for each other. In this post, we are going to explain what each is all about. Medicare is a program powered by the American government that provides Health Insurance Coverage for people who are 65 years and above, younger people with disabilities, and patients with kidney diseases. Medicaid on the other hand is a government health insurance scheme that covers people with low income. Can someone have the two health insurance programs being Medicare and Medicaid at the same time? Yes! A person can have both health insurance programs at the same time. When it happens like that, Medicare is prioritized, and Medicaid becomes secondary health insurance. However, Medicaid would be used to pay for the services that Medicare doesn't offer. That means the two Insurance programs can be used side by side for people who hold the two insurance programs. We can see that Medicare is more restricted in membership than Medicaid. All of them though have great coverage that provides maximum benefits to those who use any or both of them. [/QUOTE]
