Is Medicare part b mandatory?

The short answer is no, but there is a chance that when you need it you will be hit with a late penalty for delaying enrollment. This late penalty is waived for anyone who is eligible for Medicare benefits (age 65 or over) and has credible insurance coverage, but again, if you do NOT have credible health insurance then you will face a penalty later in life.

When you are 65 and get on Medicare can your wife also be on Medicare even if she is not 65?

One thing to remember about Medicare is that it is an individual plan. If you are on Medicare due to disability, that is your Medicare plan alone and your spouse would need to qualify on her own. Unless she has certain disabilities, your spouse would need to be turning 65 to qualify for Medicare.
