They may still be eligible for social security. You can try calling 1-800-772-1213 for more information or visit http://best.ssa.gov/ and fill out the survey to figure it out. \n\nThere are also other options such as buying health insurance from private companies (can be costly).

Just be sure to get annual check ups with your doctor... he will better be able to assist you in getting the right health screenings for your age and family medical history better then any of us on Y answers will be. So, get your annual exams & enjoy life.

First off, ask yourself what needs do you have?  Lets take each case, first your father is over 65, and he may or may not qualify to Parts a & b & d of medicare, check into this first.  Then depending where your father lives, (presuming he has Medicare) he can purchase a Medicare Supplement plan, or the more popular HMO Medicare plans.  I would suggest you contact medicare to find out if your father qualifies for medicare, and also ask what is available in your state for his options.  I could go on for hours about the differences on HMO and Supplemental plans- if you have more questions contact me.  Next, mom is 64, so when she turns 65 she will also be eligible for Medicare "again check with medicare" so her needs will be different than yours- it will depend on her health needs, what dr. she sees as far as the policy type I would recommend.  Last you and your wife, both of you are in the Child bearing years- so if you are thinking of having children in the future please make sure the policy you pick will cover maternity, many new plans do not cover maternity.  When looking for a Health Insurance plan, lots to consider:\na. Is your a Dr. a provider "PPO or HMO" this will dictate the type of plan to pick from.\nb. Do you want to prepay for services and pay a Copay for Services? (HMO, which are normally higher premiums, because a portion of your premiums is paid directly to the Dr. you pick)\nc. Would you willing to pay more out of pocket with copays, and co-insurance (normally a percentage of the negotiated rate varies between 10-40%) in order to select a wider number of physicians (PPO), most PPO have thousands of Drs to pick from.\nd. Premiums, Premiums, Premiums, set your monthly or yearly budget for healthcare costs.\ne. Gaining popularity in the health scene is "Health Strategies", normally this means HRA or HSA plans, or what I call a Self Funded type of plan, coupled with a High Deductible.  With this type of strategy the consumer "YOU" act like a health insurance company- you see health insurance companies re-insure, this means they take out policies with Lloyds of london and others to limit liability.  With this type of plan, you take on a high deductible and pay out toward this deductible during the year, put money aside "ex. HSA non taxable in most states" to save for your deductilble, health insurance co's call this "reserves" most have billions in reserves, so it is not hard to figure that the odds are on your side that you will "accumulate money".. remember the health insurance corps are not into it to loose money.  Smart consumers throughout America are switching to Consumer driven type plans, as HSA eligible plans.  I would suggest going to my website www.HSAInside.com or calling me direct for any questions.\n\nRudy Rivas, President\nwww.HSAInside.com

Contact your local SSA (Social Security Administration) office. Tell them you need to sign up for SSD (Social Security for the Disabled). Depending on what state you live in, you may have to call your local Medicaid office and sign up for a program called MAD (Medicaid for the Aged & Disabled). There is a lot of paperwork, and this usually takes a long time before you see any benefits, but be patient. Good Luck!

I feel your pain...I retired to Canada (partially for that reason) a number of years ago and was quite pleased with the health care......a family doctor in Canada is very versatile and can treat a number of ailments including minor outpatient surgery in his/her office...other side of the coin..if you have to go into a hospital, more often than not, unless it is a life or death emergency, you will face a lengthy (several months) wait....now, there IS more to the story....I was able to do this, because at the time, I was married to a Canadian citizen...after a minimum of paper work I was granted health care priviledges...what you would have to do as a non-Canadian citizen to be granted residence in Canada, I'm not sure.........and of course, in this world there is no free lunch, income taxes were considerably higher; and there is/was a modest monthly cost for health care premiums....this was in 1998....if there have been changes since that time, I am not aware of them...........also, I mentioned that was only one of the reasons I moved to Canada...I was living in Victoria, Vancouver Island and it's one of the most beautiful places on earth..the Canadians are great people...ALSO, the U.S. dollar was was about 30 to 40% higher than the Canadian $.....not so now; and it's dropping....so, you've much to consider......good luck!!

Man what a tough choice to make at your age,hell that's tough at any age! Have you thought about moving your parents to Cali with you? Maybe to an assisted living facility close to you so you can be there for them and pursue your dreams. You sound very mature and well put together for a 23 year old and I would hate to see you miss out on great opportunities and the woman you love so much,both are hard to come by. Do you have any other family that could help with you parents? I'm very close with my parents and I can see how hard of a decision this can be.\n \nGood Luck

Look up the" Department of aging," it will give you a number to contact someone who can guide you. "Catholic Charties",also have information that will assist you. Even if the person is you, both of these agencies can direct you.

Most US citizens get Medicare Part A for free when they turn 65 (or if disabled).  You then get the option to pay $88 a month for Part B (which you do).  This will cover 80% of most medical procedures, hospital stays, and doctor visits.  The other 20% gets paid by you, unless you get a supplemental insurance policy which I would highly recommend.  If you have private insurance or an HMO through your retirement (check to see if they will drop you when you turn 65) Medicare becomes the primary and they become the secondary.  If you don't have to pay for that coverage, keep it.  If you do, or they will drop you at 65, or your insurance doesn't come with retirement, look into a supplemental policy about 6 months before you turn 65.\n\nMedicaid is Welfare health care for the severely impoverished.  You must have very limited assets to qualify.  They will pay for your doctor bills, prescriptions, and long term care facility, but they want you to be completely broke, and if you own a house they will put a lein on it.  Stay away from Medicaid if you can afford to.\n\nHope that helps.  Contact an insurance company in your area that offer supplements about 6 months from your 65th b-day and get quotes.  Go with one that the agent provides and processes your claims.  Much easier for you in the later years when you may not be able to deal with the paperwork.  State Farm, Bankers Life & Casualty, Mutual of Omaha those are some of the big ones.

Call the US Embassy and ask! With both parents being American Citizens, they can "sponsor" you. You should have no problems getting a "green card" and working here. Just do things "by the book" so that you don't have problems later.

Do your parents have any paperwork regarding you?  Do you know if you are a Legal Permanent Resident?  Once you know that, go to uscis.gov and do some research.  Citizenship can wait but you need to make sure that you are a Legal Permanent Resident by your 21st birthday, otherwise you will be an illegal immigrant. \n\nGood luck.
