mudgie49 401 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi Mick,it depends on your status- working for a company,self-employed,retired,or living off immoral earnings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Can be Medicare if you are retired. I also pay into Medicare supplement insurance. Helps out on the stuff medicare doesn't cover. Private insurance if under 65 gets ridiculous. Probably why so many have no insurance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mudgie49 401 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi Dave,would Mick be able to get Medicare?Derek(dgbrit) has just got fixed up with insurance(self-employed).So he would be the one to talk to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm pretty sure to qualify for Medicare over here, you will have to have worked and contributed money to the government over the years. To work, you'd have needed either a green card or citizenship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Works here to Mick, but your not from the correct geographical location.It would seem that the U.K. is the only EU.member not alloted so many green cards per year. I do believe that you can still be sponsored. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Recently here in the U.S.it was noted by a senior with the INS, that more immigrants were arriving from Muslim countries with 'green cards', than had been the norm' in the past. It proves to me how upside down it all is,we sabre rattle,and posture in a threatening manner,warlike rhetoric,but we buy their oil Sell us your North sea oil and you can all come over tomorrow Mick.
