   Definitely.  It is ran by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a Government Agency given the responsibility of overseeing and administering Medicare and Medicaid.  Even Medicare Advantage Plans, which are administered by private insurance companies are strongly regulated by CMMS.  They work along with Social Security and Jobs and Family Services to insure that your benefits are available and properly administered.

   Medicare Part A and Part B is provided by the Federal government for Americans who are 65 and older who have worked and paid Social Security taxes into the system. Medicare is also available to people under the age of 65 that have certain disabilities and people with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
