My mom has an acquaintance who is financially challenged. Her acquaintance, Mariano, is nearing the age of 64 and does not have any relatives to care for him, so my mom suggested he avail of Medicare and Medicaid. To help him, my mom asked me to do some research and I was surprised at the Medicare and Medicaid Resources available online.
In case you are not aware, a Medicare is a, “Federal program that covers health care for individuals age 65 and over, and some people with disabilities.” A Medicaid on the other hand is “A program, funded by the federal and state governments, which pays for medical care for those who can’t afford it.” As I read on, Help with Medicaid and Medicare is actually a necessity because the cost of long term care can quickly drain even a substantial savings account.

Anyhow, after gathering a lot of information, I gave it to my mom, she helped Mariano process his papers, and is now only waiting for the final approval to be able to avail of the program.
