Explanation
Medicare is a federal health insurance program specifically designed for people aged 65 and older, as well as younger individuals with certain disabilities or End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) - making option A correct for this question.
Medicaid (option B) is incorrect here because it is a joint federal-state program based primarily on income level, not age or disability status. It serves low-income individuals and families regardless of age.
Memory tip: Think of the "care" in Medicare as caring for the elderly - the "are" sounds like "old" in some mnemonics. Alternatively, remember Medicare = Mature (65+) and Medicaid = Means-tested (income-based). The "aid" in Medicaid hints at financial assistance for those who need it economically.
