Which article are you evaluating?
Medicare (United States)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose the topic of Medicare to evaluate because of its relevance to health in the United States. I thought of it immediately because of the impacts that COVID-19 has had on the elderly population, getting a better understanding of how the government provides healthcare. My immediate impression of the article was very good. It is very well written and includes a lot of information. Although it does not have the highest grade rating possible, I do think that it includes more than enough information to get a very good understanding of what Medicare is.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section- The opening paragraph starts with a very clear statement about what the main goal of Medicare is. It then provides a table of contents that is laid of very clearly and shows all of the information covered in the article.

Content- The article covers a lot of content. There is a lot more provided in this article than I thought there would be. On top of the purpose and function of Medicare, there is also statistics provided related to Medicare.

Tone and Balance- The article has a very neutral tone, it clearly sticks to the topic and lays out facts, cited from sources.

Sources and References- The article sources constantly throughout, and from a wide number of different sources as well. I think that the editors did a good job at creating an unbiased and diversely sourced article.

Organization and Writing Quality- The organization was very clear, and was also laid out in the provided table of contents. The writing quality was also very good. I did not notice and errors, and many technical terms where used throughout.

Images and Media- There where an ample amount of media used in the article. Most of the pictures where graphs and statistics, but nothing included that was not necessary.

Talk Page Discussion- From what I see, there is very very little discussion in the talk section, and nothing related to adding or modifying contents of the page. It is part of two Wikiprojects, one being low-importance, and one being high-importance. Both B class Wikiprojects.

Overall Impression- I was impressed by the article. It provided more than enough information and sources for me to be able to get a solid understanding of the subject, as well as go use the souces in the case that I wanted to do my own research on the topic.
