What is Medicare?

According to Google, Medicare is, "A US Government health insurance plan that provides hospitals, medical, and surgical benefits for persons age 65 and older and people with certain disabilities." Although it seems simple, the Medicare system is actually quite complex. It contains a series of different parts with different health benefits. These three parts are called Medicare A, B, and D. You can only obtain Medicare if you are a legal US citizen as well.

Wow! You did a great job describing something as complicated as Medicare in such a simple and easy to understand way. Where did Medicare part C go?
