Medicare is also available for the disabled, receiving Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) aged less than 64. This is roughly 5% of the population, or about 16 million people.
What’s the problem? Merely, print a $33,000,000,000,000 bill and you’ll get some change. LIB economics works so well, doesn’t it? What worthless fools...

********************************
True, but there is a 24 month waiting period after SSDI is approved before they can get Medicare. The disabled person then has to pay the monthly premiums for Medicare, just as those persons who are over 65.
My 54 y/o daughter was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease a couple of years ago and approved for SSDI on the first application (many folks applying must do so 3-4 times).
Hashimoto’s is an immune system disease that seems to short-circuit the system throughout the body; eczema, nerve pain that causes numbness in limbs, sleep disorders, etc. She currently has to take about 20 different Rxs and vitamins every day. The cost is very high.
SSDI pays her $1000 a month. When she gets on Medicare they will deduct her premiums from her monthly payments, just like they do from my SSA payments.
