Have you ever hurt yourself from your own code?

I'm not a trademark lawyer so take this as you will, but the term Medicare has been trademarked since 1957, assigned to the Executive Director of the US Army.

Just because you haven't run into a trademark issue yet doesn't mean that you will not in the future. And I don't think I'd want to be fighting the US Army lawyers for the naming rights.

I love your initiative, but you may want to look into the naming issue a bit further (since this is what trademarks are explicitly designed for, to prevent confusion about one product/service doing the same thing under the same name).

So, from what I was told. It has to be shown with the actual extension. For example

https://medicare.com/

This i why I use medicare.dev and medicaid.dev and NEVER just use the naked terms.

This is also what I have seen everywhere else, can you point me in the right direction on this? I really appreciate the input.
