In a tense exchange w/Sen #BillCassidy, a #Republican from Louisiana, #RFKJr displayed a surprising lack of familiarity w/ #Medicare & #Medicaid, the govt programs responsible for covering >150 million Americans.

At times, Kennedy seemed to confuse the 2 programs. Medicare is a federal program that provides coverage to older & disabled Americans, while Medicaid is a state-federal program that covers low-income people.
