<prompt> Human: My mother died yesterday. Trying to get my mind wrapped around it, but still need to get all the financial stuff in order.She worked and had health insurance for my father and brother.My father is 56, is on disability and also receives a small pension from the airline he used to work for. Their house is paid off, no debts, etc..., so his living expenses are relatively low. However, he has diabetes and insulin is too expensive to go without health insurance.My brother is 24, healthy, has an OK job, and will probably get benefits through work.What are my dads options as far as healthcare go? Is medicare an option, or can he only get something from the marketplace?Thanks in advance.Assistant: Have your Dad apply for Medicare immediatelyHuman: Just edited the post with his age. Is he old enough for medicare?  <response>: People on disability are eligible for Medicare after 2 years. Ignore the posts below. He needs to apply today.
