Medicare & Long-Term Care

If you are a senior, have a disability, or need long-term care, several programs under the Affordable Care Act are available that may provide you with coverage. Use the resources below to find the health care options that work best for you:

Medicare

Medicare is health insurance for people age 65 or older, people under 65 with certain disabilities, and people of all ages with End-Stage Renal Disease. Learn more about how the Affordable Care Act adds new stability and options for people with Medicare.  

Long-Term Care

Long-term care, sometimes called personal assistance, includes services to assist with daily living for people with a chronic illness or disability. It could include help with activities like dressing, bathing, and using the bathroom. Learn more about your options.
