I was well covered till then, and not happy when Meidcare became my primary, as they dont cover kleenex.
I started receiving payments within 60 days of my application and approval.
hang in there.

The 2 year Medicare wait is Law...if you check the thread that I posted in SSDI forum, there is a bill in the Senate and the House to eliminate that 2 year waiting period for people under the age of 65 who have already qualified for SSDI. You might want to send a letter to your Senators and Representatives asking for their support.
