Social Security Act of 1965 established Medicaid, health insurance for low-income individuals, and Medicare, health insurance for the disabled and those 65 years of age and older.

• A. Social Security Act of 1965
• B. Private Hospital
• C. Refugee
• D. Diagnosis and Treatment

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how health insurance coverage for specific groups was created by law. The Social Security Act of 1965 added two major programs: Medicaid, which provides health coverage for low-income individuals, and Medicare, which provides health insurance for people who are aged 65 and older and for certain disabled people. This act built the framework for federal funding and the partnership with states for Medicaid, and established a federal program for Medicare. The other options don’t describe a law that created these insurance programs— a private hospital is a health care facility, a refugee is a displaced person, and diagnosis and treatment refer to medical services.
