Answer to Question 1

Medicare provides insurance for persons over 65, and Medicaid is for low-income and needy children, aged, blind, and/or disabled. Medicare is financed by the federal government. Medicaid is jointly financed by states and the federal government. They are not private insurance providers by definition.

Employer incentives and safe sex education are primary preventions; comprehensive case man-agement is a tertiary prevention.
