Medicare Supplements

Medicare was instituted in 1965 by the Social Security Act. It is intended to provide Federally funded medical coverage for U.S. citizens over 65 years of age, and individuals with qualifying disabilities. Medicare is an important source of medical funding for millions of Americans. Unfortunately, the program falls short in many circumstances, and health insurance is often necessary to cover the rising costs of health care for Seniors and those with disabilities. Medicare supplements are insurance plans created specifically for those also covered by Medicare. These supplement plans will cover medical costs that Medicare will not. Like all health insurance plans, cost and coverage vary. Shop carefully, and you can find a plan that's right for your situation.
