Question:

any options for elderly not eligible for free medicare? Hello, I am writing on behalf of myself and some friends, we are ages 67 thru 70. We are quite desperate. We are all American citizens, born here, never in jail or anything like that. We have verified completely that we are not eligible for free Medicare part A, which you must have before you can get B is my understanding. We do not have the necessary social security quarters. We are not poor enough for medicaid, tho our incomes are pretty low. (under $2000 a month) We are willing to pay for private insurance if it isn't too high. The buy in for Medicare Part A is $400 a month, so if it is that high, we can't afford it. I want people to know that the assumption that everyone over 65 gets medicare is dead wrong. I know alot of people who don't get it just in my area, and have met many in other areas. This is a totally neglected group of people. I understand you may want to judge us, but we have always been law abiding, and each story is different, but people can end up in these situations, every story is different. summer.rain
