Introduction
The Medicare service is a federal programme of health insurance which pays money for
the different hospitals and medical care for the people of The United States, mainly for the
people with physical disabilities and also for the older people (Alley et al., 2016). The
programme mainly consists of two main parts for nursing homes or hospitals and also for the
medical insurance and other two additional parts for the providing flexibility and for the
providing of drugs. Title XVIII of the social security act designated “health insurance for the
aged and the disabled” is a Medicare service (Harris-Kojetin et al., 2016)
Overview of the service
Function
This health insurance programme caters to the medical needs of the aged persons and
specially those who have retired from their service. This has been done for complementing the
retirement of the people after working for such a long period of time in a particular workplace.
This insurance policy also benefits the persons having physical disabilities (Schwartz et al.,
2015).
Administration
The hospital and nursing coverage of the patient are funded largely by the revenue from
the tax levied on the workers and the employers (Schwartz et al., 2015). The individuals who are
self-employed should pay the entire tax on the net earnings of the self-employed. The insurance
of the supplementary medicines and the prescription plan are totally funded by the premiums that
are paid by the enrolees of the Medicare service and the treasury revenue of the United States
(Rajaram et al., 2015). The hospital insurance, the insurance of the supplementary medicines and
the prescription plan use the trusts funds that are separate. The Medicare adverse plans use the
same trust funds that are used by the other plans of the services. Till now, the Medicare services
had spent a large amount of money which were mainly collected from the domestic products and
from the total US federal spending (Rajaram et al., 2015).
The centres for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS) is one of the component of US
department of health and human services which mainly do the administration of Medicaid,
