Original Medicare or Traditional Medicare, also known as Medicare Part A and Part B, covers a big portion of any medical expense you might have after you turn 65 years old. Part A targets hospital insurance and it helps you pay for inpatient hospital stays, or stays in skilled nursing facilities, hospice care, or surgery.
