Policy Implications of Medicare Coverage. Since outpatient prescription drug use is not covered by Medicare, it is a major source of out-of-pocket expenditures for the elderly. By one estimate, severely disabled elderly persons spend more than half their out-of-pocket health expenditures on outpatient prescription drugs.
Medicaid is for disabled or elderly (age 65 and up) people with very limited assets and income. Medicare requires that someone have paid medicare premiums through their employers or self employment income. Medicare does not impose restrictions on income or assets for eligibility. Does Medicaid charge any premiums, coinsurance or deductibles? Medicaid is a needs based medical assistance program to help indigent people deal with the financial hardship medical expenses can impose on them.
