"Health care choices in the United States can be broadly divided into two main categories: public health care (government-funded) and private health care (privately funded). The two main publicly funded health care programs are Medicare, which provides health services to people over 65 years old as well as people who meet other standards for disability, and Medicaid, which provides services to people with very low incomes who meet other eligibility requirements. Other government-funded programs include service agencies focused on Native Americans, such as the Indian Health Service; Veterans, through the Veterans Health Administration; and children, through the Children’s Health Insurance Program."
