How do the elderly in America participate in medical insurance?

To participate in American Medicare, you must be at least 65 years old and have worked and paid taxes in the United States for at least ten years. Older people who have obtained a green card in the United States can also purchase medical insurance at their own expense after immigrating to the United States for five years.

American medical law requires all citizens, permanent immigrants and foreign residents who legally reside in the United States to participate in medical insurance, or they will be fined. Participating in the federal medical insurance for the elderly can meet the requirements of the affordable medical care law. If you can't get insurance, you can apply for personal or family medical insurance through the medical insurance market.

Under normal circumstances, the elderly who receive American social security can automatically participate in the A and B plans of medical insurance when they reach the age of 65. Other eligible elderly people can apply for medical insurance for the first time 3 months before their 65th birthday and 3 months after their birthday. You can also apply on the federal government medical website or apply for medical insurance through the social security department.
