Medicare is available to most senior Americans who turn 65 as well as those with certain disabilities or end-stage renal. Once you are Medicare eligible you are able to purchase a Medicare Supplement plan, AKA Medigap. While Medicare offers great coverage, if you were diagnosed with cancer, needed extended hospital care, or were traveling outside of the United States, Medicare may not cover all your costs.
