Which statement identifies programs established by the Social Security Act of 1965?

• A. National Health Service
• B. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
• C. Department of Health and Human Services
• D. Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP

Answer: (D)

Medicare and Medicaid were created by the Social Security Act of 1965 to provide health coverage for older adults and for low‑income individuals. CHIP was added later to extend coverage to uninsured children, under amendments to the same act. The other options aren’t programs created by that statute: the National Health Service is a UK system, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is the agency that administers these programs, and the Department of Health and Human Services is the department that oversees them. So naming Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP correctly identifies the programs tied to the Social Security Act of 1965.
