Medicare Part C
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted in March 2010, seeks to make health insurance affordable through subsidies for low- and middle-income households, expand Medicaid coverage to more low-income adults (though not all states participate), and promote cost-saving innovations in health care delivery.
Medicare Part D
Part D (Drug coverage): Helps cover the cost of prescription drugs. You join a Medicare drug plan in addition to Original Medicare, or you get it by joining a Medicare Advantage Plan with drug coverage. Plans that offer Medicare drug coverage are run by private insurance companies that follow rules set by Medicare.
