Based on the information you provided, you are eligible for Medicare. You'll get Medicare Part A (hospitalization) automatically and you will pay a premium for Medicare Part B (medical).

 

You'll probably want to add supplement plans to help cover the expenses that Medicare alone doesn't cover.

 

A Medicare Supplement - sometimes called Medigap - helps cover medical costs. Many choose Plan F, which pays what Medicare doesn't pay for eligible services to any doctor or hosptial of your choice.

 

Since Medicare alone doesn't cover presciptions, you might want to also add a Part D Prescription plan so you have prescription coverage.

Affordable options? Yes, please.
