Julie, I am getting Medicare in February and by no means am I old, Medicare is not just for old people it is for disabled people as well. Medicaid is based on people with low income and diseases....you can't just get medicaid if you are poor, their has to be more to the story.



I am sure you know Medicare is not just an old person's insurance, at least I hope you know that.</end quote></div>

 I don't  think she meant it to come out like that .I'm in my early 30's and eligible for medicare in Oct. it's for disabled individuals as well.

Jennifer, I was relating medicare to old people in THIS particular instance because of the way that she worded it. It is FIRST and FOREMOST for those who are over the age of 65. It was later implemented as a benefit of SSDI after 24 months on SSDI, or as an immediate benefit to those with 1-2 specific diseases. It was irrelevant to discuss it in that depth at this point since I was simply trying to illustrate the differences between medicaid and medicare as schmj4910, and this is NOT a topic specifically about SSDI. And them be fightin words from you I think because you KNOW I know this. We've had this discussion MANY times, on and off this board.

As far as medicaid goes... yes, you CAN be on it if you are poor. THERE DOES NOT NEED TO BE MORE TO THE STORY. And I can state this as a fact considering I am on it, and my children are on it and we have NO medical "diseases". We are simply poor. Bottom line, end of story.

I really wish people would educate themselves before they post "absolutes" on this website and get people all up in a freaking tizzy.
Do you know how many 100's of emails and PM's I got about "julie People are posting about loosing their SSDI benefits when they got married, is this true????". Granted, SSA is either REALLY taking advantage of this person, or this person isn't clear on what they are talking about. And I think it's 99.9% the latter because they both have YET to contact me at any of the FREE contact availabilities listed above.

It was irrelevant to discuss it in that depth at this point since I was simply trying to illustrate the differences between medicaid and medicare as schmj4910 related them. Furthermore this is NOT a topic specifically about SSDI. And them be fightin words from you I think because you KNOW I know this. We've had this discussion MANY times, on and off this board. So kindly back off, this is not the day to mess with me.

This topic, for all intents and purposes, was a "TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT" topic. If it helped you in your struggle with "do we get married and lose benefits or don't get legally married and keep benefits???", then awesome. If that shoe doesn't fit for you, no hard feelings. This was not a "this is the way it ought to be and if you don't do it this way your wrong" post. So calm down people. Especially on the religious aspect. I get that it doesn't work for your religion. Great, don't do it...
