Medicare is one of America’s largest health programs. It provides health insurance for people 65 and older and people with disabilities.
As of November 2024, over 67 million people in the United States were enrolled. Just over half of all Medicare beneficiaries choose to get their coverage through Medicare Advantage, a popular alternative to traditional fee-for-service Medicare. Kaiser Permanente is one of Medicare Advantage’s largest participants. We provide coverage to more than 1.8 million Medicare members.
