healthcare coverage
Policy for treatment
Healthcare coverage is insurance or a program that pays for medical expenses—doctor visits, hospital stays, prescriptions, and preventive care.
In the United States, coverage may come through employers, government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, or individual purchase: Losing my job meant losing my healthcare coverage.
The uninsured lack healthcare coverage entirely.
