He should be able to get Medicare if he’s on SSDI. Or is there a year waiting period?

Hope he gets better!

Not sure what the deal is - the wife keeps track of the specifics and I tell her it's OK to spend some cash if he needs something he can't afford. Since Medicare only covers "80%" and cancer treatment is expensive, it may be that he has an "Obama Care supplement".

We are hopeful but the prognosis isn't that great right now - thanks for the well-wishes.
