Is medicare like having health insurance and do all of us get it? Can you get medical treatment and operations if you have it?

I don't fully understand it yet but I believe that everybody who paid in to s.s. is eligible. You have to be 65 years old to get it.

I will be 65 on June 29th this year and didn't do anything to receive my card, they just sent it to me with very little information but they did say that more would be coming. My card says effective date June 1st.

Can you get medical treatment and operations if you have it?

Yes, but there are co pays and I don't know how much.
