Help us Eliminate the Twenty-Four Month Medicare Waiting Period
The Medicare Rights Center is working to eliminate the Medicare coverage waiting period and has recently embarked on a national media project to bring the issue to light.
Our goal is to raise awareness of the lasting damage caused by the 24-month waiting period by recording the personal experiences of individuals who:
* are currently in the 24-month Medicare waiting period, or
* recently got Medicare coverage after having gone through the two-year wait.
If you or someone you know might be willing to participate in this project by sharing their story please contact me at the below address or simply reply to this email.
For Medicare coverage to begin, Americans with disabilities must wait 24 months from their first Social Security disability income payment, which is five months after Social Security deems them disabled.
Medicare provides an invaluable safety net for Americans with disabilities, providing good, affordable health coverage when the private insurance market turns its back. Let us work together to make this health coverage available as soon as people need it, rather than 24 months later. Help us eliminate the 24-month Medicare waiting period.
