The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) - Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is responsible for administering two key healthcare programs in the United States. Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance coverage to individuals who are 65 years old or older, as well as certain younger individuals with disabilities. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that offers healthcare coverage to low-income individuals, including children, pregnant women, elderly adults, and people with disabilities. The CMS works to ensure that these programs are effectively implemented and that beneficiaries have access to the healthcare services they need.
