About This Trend
Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States that primarily provides coverage to individuals 65 or older, as well as certain younger people with disabilities or specific conditions.
Medicare is currently trending due to a major fraud scheme involving $10 billion, where 11 individuals were charged for their roles in a Russia-based operation targeting the program. Additionally, recent updates to Medicare coverage, including the addition of revolutionary treatments like sleep apnea therapy, have brought increased attention to the program.
