This Alliance for Health Reform and Kaiser Family Foundation briefing aims to answer questions on the Medicare program. Who does Medicare serve and what services does it provide? How is the program financed? What is the difference between Medicare fee-for-service and Medicare Advantage? What are the basics of the new Medicare drug benefit? What is "Medigap"? How has Medicare attempted to control costs?
