What is the difference between Medicaid and Medicare?
The Medicaid enrollee's average age is 16, while Medicare’s is 70. Medicaid managed care is diversified across multiple payors that include each state, territory and the District of Columbia, as well as the federal government. Medicare, however, is funded entirely by the federal government. In addition, medical expenses that affect the Medicaid population include obstetrics, neonatal care, asthma and diabetes, while heart disease, cancer and orthopedics affect the Medicare population.
