Hope you have applied for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) Ã‚Â for now and however long you need it. Once you are on (SSDI - they will pay you back to the date of your first application / hurry apply), when you have been on SSDI two years... you will receive a Medicare card - no matter your age. You will have Medicare and need to buy a supplemental policy as everyone does for Medicare... but, you will have good insurance then. Crazy they make you wait 2 years, but they do. You will need this to keep up with all your check ups. Ã‚Â You are doing great... sorry it has been so hard lately.
