Brian, I just asked my husband. He works for the P&A and he is an attorney that specializes in disability law. He said they are eligible for Medicare if they have worked the required quarters and paid into the system.

Preexisting conditions certainly make it more expensive to acquire health insurance, but how expensive? I have a private PPO health insurance policy that I acquired before my injury, and, fortunately, still have and pay for. I will be in that multi million beneficiary category very soon, but I think that medicare and the private PPO still have to pay my health care expenses. I guess I better investigate! Anybody know about this kinda stuff-- especially medicare eligibility Thanx, BriBri
