Final Answer : A, Explanation :  According to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation, in 2019, 57% of non-elderly adults with health insurance received it through their employer, while 17% received it through Medicaid and 11% purchased it on their own. Only a small percentage of the population is uninsured. Therefore, the most common way for people to have health insurance is through their or a family member's employment. B is incorrect because there is no federal law that requires all citizens to have health insurance, although the Affordable Care Act did mandate it for a period of time. C is incorrect because while Medicare covers prescription drugs, they are not always free and there may be cost-sharing involved. D is incorrect because private health insurance is available to people with Medicare, but it is not necessary since Medicare is a public insurance program for people over 65.
