What is the difference between the medicare and medicaid programs?
a. medicare provides health care for older people, while medicaid provides health care for people with low incomes.
b. medicare provides food stamps for older people, while medicaid provides housing for older people.
c. medicare provides housing for people with low incomes, while medicaid provides health care for people with low incomes.

The answer to this question is option A. Medicare is a government funded program that financially aids people who are 65 years and older. Medicare has several parts, A, B and D. They all have different areas they cover. On the other hand, medicaid is eligible for people who have financial needs or people in the low income bracket. In some other states, it covers people who cannot afford insurance. This plan is normally paid directly to the health providers.
