Health care is expensive, so it’s no shocker that so many people have questions about government-funded healthcare programs like Medicaid and Medicare. Although they sound similar and began around the same time, these two programs are actually very different. If you’re eligible for one or the other (or both), then it’s important that you understand the differences and how to make the most of your benefits.

We do have to pay for covered services. The only reason we are not paying copays right now is because it was ordered to be waved at the beginning of the pandemic by the folks in Washington DC for the duration of the pandemic.
