Does my Medicare cover your wife too?
Medicare doesn't cover spouses. Each person must have their own account and policy. This is an important consideration if the older partner decides to retire before the younger one reaches age 65. If the younger person relied on the older partner for health coverage through their employer, they'll be responsible for their own medical insurance until they also reach age 65.
When you are 65 and get on Medicare can your wife also be on Medicare even if she is not 65?
One thing to remember about Medicare is that it is an individual plan. If you are on Medicare due to disability, that is your Medicare plan alone and your spouse would need to qualify on her own. Unless she has certain disabilities, your spouse would need to be turning 65 to qualify for Medicare.
