Can I get Medicare through my spouse?

Hopefully by the time you reach your 60s you will have found some form of a significant other whether it is a wife, divorced or a widow. Having this significant other when it comes to Medicare can be an asset in some situations. Just like any other person, the first and most important thing to determine whether or not your spouse's Medicare can cover you is whether or not you are eligible. To be eligible you must be 65 or over or have ESRD. If these do not apply, then you need to take a further step to be eligible for Part A insurance.  The scenarios are that you must have been married for at least a year, divorced and previously married for 10 years while being single now. And a widow for at least 9 months; all with the regulation that your spouse is now eligible for healthcare.
