Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people over 65 and certain younger people with disabilities. President-Elect Joe Biden has said he would like to allow people to enroll as early as age 60 and make dental, vision and hearing coverage standard in traditional Medicare. Currently, most Medicare beneficiaries must buy a supplemental policy to add on those benefits.
