Are you in the US because that could be the difference. I sure hope you can get your medicare after two years. I just got mine early for some reason. Certainly you should qualify for it at the two year mark if you are in the US.  |
Yeah I'm in the U.S. I've not been on Disability long enough. January 2014 is when I'll qualify for Medicaid. I actually received info in the mail that apparently in Jan of 2013 I qualify for free Medicare part A (hospital stuff), I can have part B for $100/month, which not sure I'll do cuz half my dr's have a sliding scale, plus part B doesn't cover prescriptions.
It's just the waiting game---Jan 2014 is a long way away, and this year I have spent hundreds on tests/bloodwork/therapy, etc. already, and I've got another major new dr appt this month, which may end up with more tests.
