Medicare is NOT intended for which group?

Medicare is primarily designed to provide health care coverage for senior citizens, individuals with disabilities, and some others who meet specific criteria. It serves people aged 65 and older, as well as younger individuals who have certain disabilities or conditions like End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The option identifying full-time students as not being a target demographic for Medicare is correct because enrollment in Medicare is not based on student status. Instead, Medicare eligibility is based on age, disability, or specific health conditions, rather than whether an individual is a full-time student.

While low-income individuals may sometimes qualify for additional help or programs through Medicaid, they do not fall under the core criteria for Medicare itself, thus they do not define the primary audience that Medicare is designed to serve. Similarly, senior citizens and individuals with disabilities are explicit groups included in Medicare’s scope.
