Medicare and Medicaid turn 50 years old on Thursday. Interestingly, if the programs were people they’d be too young for Medicare and too wealthy for Medicaid.

Many health professionals are celebrating the anniversary, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. “The 50th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid provides an important opportunity for us to reflect on the critical role these programs have played in protecting the health and well-being of millions of families,” Andy Slavitt, acting administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, said in a press release. “Today, Medicare and Medicaid are creating a health care system that is better, smarter, and healthier – setting standards for how care is delivered.”
