Am I eligible for Medicare if I am under 65?

There are three ways you can get Medicare coverage if you are under 65 years of age.

1. You are eligible for Medicare if you are a U.S. citizen or have your resident visa, have lived in the U.S. for five years in a row; and

You have a disability and have been receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for more than 24 months.

Or

2. You have been diagnosed with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and you

are getting dialysis treatments or have had a kidney transplant;
apply for Medicare benefits (up to 12 months retroactively);and
you
are eligible to receive SSDI;

Or

3. You have been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Also, the ACA only covers people who have insurance. Many still don't.

so basically if you are a citizen of the US you can get medicare?

If you are a citizen AND you are disabled/sick.

Please limit the debate to the topic and knock off the personal attacks. Any further will result in post removals or posting bans. The topic is never each other.

dont you qualify for food stamps or welfare or something if you have zero income?

I'm talking about tax dollars not paying for abortions, that's all.

The truth about PP? They provide a service to women who can't afford it elsewhere.

I guess we're done here.

Hey congrats you just hit for the liberal cycle. And yes sorry buddy, but I don't care about you. My family are friends are of my concern nobody else. Though I understand we all can't support ourselves and as a result some must force complete strangers to care for them. You shouldn't care what I say, I'm just a guy on the Internet. But for some reason you do, no? Id imagine its bc the anonymous Internet message board is one of few elements in this life you can try and compete with me in.

No, I know you don't care about anyone else. That's why I pointed that out.

I also don't care what you think or have to say either. Which is why I asked why we should even listen to you.

Did it seem like I was being sarcastic or something??? I genuinely want to know why anyone would listen to the advice of a selfish, narcissistic bigot who doesn't care about anything but himself???

I'd qualify for food stamps, and I'd qualify for energy assistance.....AS LONG AS I HAVE A ROOF OVER MY HEAD.
ain't no help, according to them in that dept. and well, they'd probably count the money I got from the truck I sold and have been paying for that roof over my head anyways.
but till that $4000 is gone ... (in the next month or two), I don't think they will even do that much for me. and well, once I lose the roof over my head, I just ain't gonna bother with them.....I have plenty of camping equipment, I'll find somewhere to park myself and starve....heck with them!

isnt there any local charitys or churches you can turn to for assistance? a woman our age shouldnt be living in a damn tent!

a reply to: kellyjay

charities....will pay once or twice a year your rent, but you have to show an eviction notice...
they will also pay once or twice a year for you electric bill...which by the way, that help from the gov't for electricity is only for certain times of the year and even then will only pay a portion of the bill..

one church did all pitch in and give me a bunch of things that food stamps wouldn't buy....
I didn't have the heart to tell them that all those bottles of skin moisturizer and crap like that will break me out or that I'm allergic to chlorox so it's no use....but the toilet paper, the paper towels, and the napkins came in handy and I didn't have to buy any of that stuff for awhile....
