Medicare is for age 65+.
Actually, Medicare is also available to the disabled under 65. I’ve been on Medicare since I was disabled at age 56.
Medicaid is for people that have no ins. and no job.They can be very young.
Most but not all cases.

‘Medicare is for age 65+.’
If you are on SS Disability you also have at any age. Go Cats!
And those who are social security disabled may also use it as their primary depending on circumstances.
