The Medicare Program

Medicare is a health insurance program for:

• People age 65 or older.
• People under age 65 with certain disabilities.

The Original Medicare Has Two Parts

Part A is Hospital Insurance and covers cost associated with confinement in a hospital or skilled nursing facility. (see Medicare Part A)

Term life insurance provides protection for a specific period of time. It pays a benefit only if you die during the term. Level term products are the most popular plans purchased today. The level term can be from 5 years to 30 years.
