If you are on social security disability you don't have to wait until you're 65. If you qualify for it (SSD) in 2 years you can join Medicare.

Medicare is the most fantastic health care coverage I've ever had. The difference between it & my former teachers' coverage is stunning: no prior approvals for any tests, scans, etc. Use any doc who accepts it (however, many are opting out because of reduced reimbursement), etc.

All Americans should be able to access it.
