Here in the U.S.A. three
good meals a day is expected
by everyone. However, the
number of meals eaten a day
varies in different countries.
Many people in Finland are
said to eat only one meal a
day. In other countries two
meals are eaten, plus a cup of
coffee for breakfast. And in
some countries there are four
meals daily.
It is very important to get
the nourishment necessary
for health, regardless of how
many daily meals you eat.
Vitamins supplements are
sometimes necessary for
people who do not eat
properly, or enough of
vitamin-packed foods. The
body throws off surplus
vitamins, but hungers for the
daily requirement.
We carry complete stocks
of vitamins in our store. Our
motto is “Everything for
good health.” Visit us
soon—you will find ours to be
a complete drug store.

New Bulletin
Explains Fed
Health Aids
Do you ever wonder about
the difference between Medi
care and Medicaid? Well,
you’re not alone in this
question.
To help give you some
answers, the Department of
Health, Education and Wel
fare has recently revised a
free booklet called Medicaid-
Medicare. For your single
free copy write to Consumer
Information Center, Dept. 79,
Pueblo, Colorado 81009.
The booklet includes the
following :
Medicare and medicaid
both help pay medical bills,
BUT they are not the same.
Medicare is for almost
everybody 65 or older, rich or
poor. Medicaid is for certain
needy and low income people
such as the aged, the blind,
the disabled, (and members
of families with dependent
children). It is possible for
some people to have both
Medicare and Medicaid.
Medicare is an insurance
program which pays part
(but not all) of hospital and
medical costs for people who
are insured. Medicare is
financed by payroll contribu
tions, monthly premiums
paid by insured persons, and
monthly premiums paid by
the Federal Government.
Medicaid is an assistance
program which pays for
many health services includ
ing hospital care and doctor’s
fees. It can pay what
Medicare does not pay for
people eligible for both
programs. Medicaid is fi
nanced by Federal and State
Governments.
Since Medicare is a
Federal program, it is the
same all over the United
States. Since Medicaid is a
Federal-State program, it
varies from State to State.
To apply for Medicaid, go
to your local Welfare Office.
To apply for Medicare, go to
your Social Security Office.
Medicaid-Medicare (free)
is one of over 250 selected
Federal consumer publica
tions listed in the Winter
edition of the Consumer
Information Index. Publish
ed quarterly by the Con
sumer Information Center of
the General Services Admini
stration, the free Index is
available by writing Con
sumer Information Center,
Pueblo, Colorado 81009, or by
visiting any of the 37 Federal
Information Centers located
around the country.
