Medicare is a health insurance program for:people age 65 or older,people under age 65 with certain disabilities
It is age that determines it. Not until you are 65 years old.
Medicare is health insurance for people age 65 or older, under age 65 with certain disabilities, and any age with End-Stage Renal Disease.
The federal health insurance provided to people age 65 and over is called Medicare.
Same as always: 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.
