Hi,
I was recently granted SSI Disability, for HD, and I have a question about Medicare. I went to my family doctor yesterday, and she said that I should have signed up for ObamaCare, since I have not had insurance for many years. The doctor was sure that there was no longer a waiting period for Medicare. Is this true?

Still a two year wait for medicare. You can go on line (maybe, if you're lucky, if the stars are aligned,etc. etc. etc.) and choose a health plan which may be subsidized based on your income. Good luck!

Hi Howard,
I just heard the same info from Jane Kogan, at HDSA. I have tried to online application for ObamaCare for two days, and it never lets me sign and complete it. Oy!
