Have you ever heard a confusing story about what Medicare or Medicaid actually pays for. Sometimes, the sheer amount of information—and misinformation—out there can make it tough for seniors to know what’s really true.

Another common myth is that Medicare pays for long-term care or assisted living, but this is generally only true in very specific, short-term situations.
It’s important to debunk myths like these to make informed choices for yourself or your loved ones.
