We'll explain today on Elevate Wealth. Hey there, I'm Deanne Rosso with Elevate Wealth Advisory, and I'm joined today by Gary Stoller, our director of wealth advice. Welcome, Gary. Thank you. So Gary, we get tons of questions about Medicare. So explain to us: what is Medicare? Medicare is a Federal health insurance program intended primarily to cover hospital costs, as well as outpatient doctor's offices services, as well as prescription drugs, and in some cases dental, vision, and hearing benefits. Okay, great. So, who qualifies? Okay, great question. So, you need to be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident, 5 years or more. Also, you need to be 65 years old or have a severe mental or physical disorder. Okay. I think there's a misconception that you have to have worked for 40 quarters, like Social Security, in order to qualify for Medicare, but that's not necessarily the case. You may have to pay a Part A premium, and in a future video, we're going to talk about costs. If you meet those qualifications you just mentioned, citizen or permanent resident for five plus years, age 65 plus, or a severe mental or physical disability, then you qualify for Medicare. Correct. Awesome. Well, that's great information, Gary. And for those of you who are tuning tuning in, if you have more questions about Medicare and how this applies to your situation, we're here to help.
