Explanation :
Medicare is the federal health-care program that covers U.S. residents over the age of 65. A) Affordable Care Act is not a health-care program, but rather a law that expands access to health insurance. B) Social Security is a retirement and disability benefits program, not a health-care program. C) Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides health insurance to low-income individuals and families. E) S-CHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program) provides health insurance to children in low-income families who do not qualify for Medicaid.
