Medicare is not automatic. One should file an application 2-3 months prior to age 65.
Medicare eligibility starts at age 65 except for disabled Social Security beneficiaries. Medicaid is available for indigent adults who have dependent children or are disabled as defined by Social Security regulations.
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. Check the link below to see about eligibility: http://www.medicare.gov/MedicareEligibility/home.asp?version=default&browser=IE%7C7%7CWindows+Vista&language=English
To receive Medicare, one must have 40 credits of work and be over 65 or permanently and totally disabled.
If you are on Medicare due to disability or End Stage Renal Disease(is this the reason you have Medicare under age 65?), you will need to look into a Medicare Advantage Plan instead of a Medicare Supplement also called Medigap. This is what Medicare says: If you are a person with Medicare under age 65 and have a disability or ESRD, you might not be able to buy the Medigap (also called "Medicare Supplement Insurance") policy you want, or any Medigap policy, until you turn age 65. Federal law doesn't require insurance companies to sell Medigap policies to people under age 65. However, some states require Medigap insurance companies to sell you a Medigap policy, even if you are under age 65.

You get medicare soon after your 24th consecutive social security check. Sucks, don't it? If you retire at 62, you'll get it at 64. Unless you are receiving [Social Security] Disability Insurance Benefits, eligibility for all parts of Medicare begins at age 65.
yes, Medicare covers delivery. Medicare is for those over 65 years old, and/or disabled and who have contributed to the Medicare system through payroll deductions. Although it would be unusual to deliver at age 65+ it is entirely possible to be disabled by Medicare standards and still get pregnant and deliver a baby.
