There are two types of health care plans available : government and private firms. The private health insurance is usually paid by an individual. Your employer should also offer you a health insurance plan too, often as part of your employee benefits.
The health care plans provided by the government, often at a local or national level. You may think of Medicare as the one offered at the national level which intended for senior citizens over 65 years of age, and persons with disabilities. Other government-operated health insurance programs include: Medicaid, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, health care benefits for the veterans and military, as well as indigenous American Indians.
