If you receive social security disability, you are eligible to get medicare earlier than the normal time. The disability payments you get are considered income, and you will have to use a small portion of that income to pay for Medicare, which will provide medical care. If you currently have medical insurance from some other source, then you will still sign up for MEdicare, but MEdicare will be your secondary provider.
