Healthcare benefits are services and financial support provided by employers or government programs to help individuals access medical care. These benefits often include coverage for doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription medications, and preventive services like vaccinations. They aim to reduce the out-of-pocket costs for patients and ensure they receive necessary medical attention. In many cases, healthcare benefits are part of an employee's compensation package, which may also include options like dental and vision coverage. Programs such as Medicare and Medicaid offer additional support for specific populations, ensuring that vulnerable groups have access to essential health services.
