Final answer:
All statements regarding Medicaid and Medicare are true: Medicaid has different names in different states, it is funded by federal income taxes, Medicare is funded by payroll taxes, and some individuals qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare. the correct option is e.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement a. Medicaid has different names in different states is TRUE.
Medicaid is a joint health insurance program created by Congress in 1965 and involves both state and federal levels. It is funded by the federal government, but each state is responsible for administering its program. This results in variations in the name, level of benefits, and eligibility criteria across different states.
Statement b. Medicaid is funded by federal income taxes is also TRUE. Being a federal program, its funding comes from federal income taxes, although it is not solely funded by them since states also contribute to Medicaid costs.
The statement c. Medicare is partially funded by individuals and their employers through payroll taxes is TRUE. Medicare, which is the health insurance program for those over 65, the disabled, and people with permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, primarily gets its funding from payroll taxes paid by workers and their employers, as well as from premiums that beneficiaries pay.
Finally, statement d. Some people on Medicaid also qualify for Medicare is TRUE. These individuals are known as 'dual eligibles' and they can receive benefits from both programs.
Since all statements presented are true, the answer to the question is e. All of the above.
