Is Medicare Only For Old People? 
That is an excellent question ! Though I think I 'd be careful , I 've seen some senior citizens that get testy when you call them old ! But to answer your question , yes , you can not enroll for Medicare until you turn 65 . While it is advisable that you enroll when you turn 65 , it is possible anytime after your 65th birthday for you to sign up . You can be on Social Security before 65 , but not Medicare . Thanks for asking !
