Which statement about Medicare is most accurate?

Answer
A
Medicare’s only requirement is being an adult who has paid taxes.
B
Medicare provides free medical care for all enrollees.
C
Medicare is administered by state governments.
D
Medicare provides medical assistance to senior citizens.

Explanation

Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for people age 65 and older, as well as some younger people with qualifying disabilities or conditions. It does not provide all care for free, and it is administered federally rather than by state governments. Therefore, “Medicare provides medical assistance to senior citizens” is the most accurate statement.
