Adding to that here is a little more information: anyone who is eligiable for disability, someone who is in end stage renal disease/kidney failure, and those whom are 65 years and older.

The individual must have 40 credits of "covered employment" (i.e., calendar quarters during which they paid into Medicare), or be the spouse or dependent of such individual.

∙ 15y agoAnyone age 65 or over is eligible for Medicare. Most people age 65 and over are covered under Medicare Part A for free, based on their work records or on their spouse's work records.
People over 65 who are not eligible for free Medicare Part A coverage can enroll in it and pay a monthly fee for the same coverage. However, this rate increases by 10% for each year after your 65th birthday that you wait to enroll.
The rules of eligibility for Part B medical insurance are simpler than for Part A: If you are age 65 or over and are either a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident who has been here lawfully for five consecutive years, you are eligible to enroll in Medicare Part B medical insurance. This is true whether or not you are eligible for Part A hospital insurance.
