Question:

I have 100% full and permanent service-related disability. I want to go outside and get a second opinion asap. I am almost 75 years old. Can I sign up for Medicare? If so, should I get A and B? Please let me know my options. Thank you.

If you're almost 75 years old, the odds are you have Medicare Part A already. The best I can offer you is that you need to get in touch with your local or regional SSA offices and determine the status of your Social Security benefits.
