Ms. Moore plans to retire when she turns 65 in a few months. She is in excellent health and will
have considerable income when she retires. She is concerned that her income will make it
impossible for her to qualify for Medicare. What could you tell her to address her concern?
Choose one answer.
a. Medicare is a program for people who have incomes and assets
below specific limits, so you will have to find out her exact financial
situation before telling her whether she can obtain Medicare
coverage.
b. Medicare is a program for people age 65 or older and those
under age 65 with certain disabilities, end stage renal disease or
Lou Gehrig’s disease, so she will be eligible for Medicare.
c. Medicare is a program for people of all ages with specific mental
health disabilities. Since she is in excellent health, she would not
qualify, but should instead look into her state’s Medicaid program if
she wants further coverage.
d. Eligibility for Medicare is based on whether or not a person has
ever been employed by the federal government. If she or her
husband were ever employed by the federal government, she can
enroll in Medicare.
