How to Qualify for Medicare

Medicare is America's healthcare system for people at least 65 years old.

You can apply for Medicare if you are not yet 65 but as the above poster said you have to be disabled for 2 years and you have to bring a lot of forms back and forth to your doctor. Start the process now because it can take them a long time to make a determination. Some states have disability through Medicaid (the state run program) that you can qualify for until the Federal program (Medicare) makes it's determination. At that point the Federal decision takes precedence. If Medicare/Social Security says you are not disabled then the State follows suit.

Good luck!
