Answer:

The correct answer is: A. To provide the elderly with free health care

Step-by-step explanation:

Medicare is an American Health Insurance program designed to guarantee free medical care for the elders, aged 65 and over, and some younger people with certain disabilities.

It was funded in 1966, under the SSA (Social Security Administration), but today works under the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services)
