    If you are eligible for medicare(disabled?) Age doesn't make any difference.

    Medicare(not medicaid)will cover a lot of situations,but you'll need pharmaceutical coverage for cheaper medications.

    I am not sure this answers your question, let me know.

    As soon as you are qualified for medicare you can buy a suppliment. And it may include a drug plan

    Also there are managed care plans, that are available that are fairly popular currently
