### Human:\ni'm worried about my parents. they're both retired and my dad has some health issues. i think he is covered by medicare/medicaid. my mom only has emergency issue coverage. what's the best source of information i can direct them to to ensure they make the best/most informed decision when it comes to health insurance?\n\n### Assistant: if both your parents are age 65 or older they should be covered by medicare. go to medicare. gov medicare helpful contacts page or call 1-800-medicare (1-800-633-4227) to get personalized help. if your mom is younger than 65 you should check her insurance options through your state's insurance marketplace. healthcare. gov can provide you with contact information. i suggest you pick up the phone and speak to someone at the 800 number provided to discuss your options.
