Two medical care provisions that may be available for those 65 years and older, and ones with qualifying disabilities are Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare - will pay a portion of approved hospital and medical treatment as a health insurance program provided by the government.

Medicaid – provides individuals with certain disabilities, or low- income, medical insurance, particularly low-income families with children.

Medicaid is a state provision, with each state establishing it’s own eligibility and guidelines.

High Risk Pools is another state health care provision. This coverage can be available for ones with pre-existing conditions that prevent obtaining medical coverage from a health insurance company. This is often a more costly option, though at times, it may be the only one available.
