1 Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans' benefits provide access to health-care services for specific groups of people. Medicare is generally for those 65 and older, Medicaid is a national program for low-income persons, and Veterans' benefits are provided for those who have served in the U.S. military.
2 CHIP provides health coverage for children whose families earned too much to qualify for Medicaid benefits but who were still uninsured because of limited income.
3 There were approximately 41 million Americans without health insurance at the end of 2014.
4 Americans living in poverty have greater numbers of health problems than those with higher incomes.
