The History of Medicare

 Let’s look back to see how the Medicare program was originally created and some of the major changes that have taken place.

Original Medicare, also known as Fee-for-Service Medicare, is a federal health insurance program for people aged 65 and older and certain people that are eligible due to disabilities or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

This program is an important part of how our nation accomplishes its healthcare goals, so understanding its history is critical to understanding where it is going.
