Medicare and Medicaid provide health coverage to about 90 million Americans,
including many in the bleeding and clotting disorders community. To help explain the
two programs, the Kaiser Family Foundation has issued a new primer on the Medicare
program and an updated primer on the Medicaid program. Prepared by Kaiser staff, the
primers provide an overview of the programs, explaining who they serve, how the
programs work and how they are financed.  These primers are a useful resource for
anyone who wants to understand more about these important government healthcare
programs.
