Medicare and Medicaid programs were created on July 30, 1965. This is when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law a registration bill that paved the way for these programs. Since then American families have been safeguarding their health and well-being through use of Medicare and Medicaid plans. They save lives and improve the economic security of our nation. Medicare is managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Social Security works with CMS by enrolling people in Medicare.

If you’re over 65 (or turning 65 in the next 3 months) and are not already receiving benefits from Social Security, then you need to sign up to get Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). You WILL NOT get Medicare automatically. Once you are eligible and have signed up for Medicare, your new Medicare card will be mailed out to you. You will also be able to print an official Medicare card quickly and easily through MyMedicare.gov instead of waiting for a replacement in the mail.

NOTE: please visit the site directly to verify the details and obtain more information.
