The age at which a woman qualifies for Medicare, the government health insurance program for people 65 and older, depends on her circumstances. Generally, women who were born before 1954 qualify for Medicare at age 65. Those born in 1954 or later will have to wait until age 66 or 67 to qualify, depending on their birth year.
Medicare is a vital program that provides health insurance coverage to millions of Americans. It helps to pay for hospital stays, doctor visits, and other medical expenses. Medicare is funded through a combination of premiums, taxes, and general revenue. The program is administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
