I am eligible for Medicare. The problem is (and I loathe to call it a problem) is that I have a wife much younger than I am and not eligible for medicare. So even if I'm covered, she won't be for another seven years! So I need to find health care insurance for her, or one of us has to find a job that offers health care. We will, I know it, It's just a matter of time.
