Which statement is a con of Medicare Part A?

• A. Hospital care not generally covered outside the US
• B. Most don't pay a premium
• C. Easy to enroll
• D. Medical history does not matter

Answer: (A)

Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital care in the United States, but it does not generally cover hospital care outside the United States. This geographic limitation is the main drawback because it means you could be responsible for hospital costs if you travel or live abroad, with only rare exceptions. The other statements describe features that are more like benefits than drawbacks—Part A often has no monthly premium for many eligible people, enrollment is straightforward, and eligibility isn’t based on medical history—so they don’t represent downsides.
