Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Medicare, the major form of health care financing for older adults, covers only a portion of the costs for long-term care needs. Medicare provides limited coverage of both inpatient and community mental health services. The Medicare Part D program provides options for older adults to minimize prescription costs but can be very difficult to understand. Expensive prescription plans and high co-payments are commonly seen with Medicare coverage causing increased psychosocial stressors for elders living on a fixed income.
