Answer to Question 1

Medicare
Medicare is a federal insurance program created by Title XVIII of the Social Security Act of 1965 . This act was designed to protect people aged 65 years and older from the high cost of healthcare. In 1972, the program was expanded to cover disabled workers as well as people with end-stage renal disease.

Answer to Question 2

States . . . frequent headaches and . . . takes aspirin . . . are both subjective.
