   That is a great question! When the program was designed, it was set up so that all Americans reaching the age of 65 had access to affordable health care. At the time, good health care was something that was priced far out of reach of the average person. It still is. So yes, Medicare is available to just about everyone. Now should people who can afford their healthcare be entitled to a program that was designed for the poor? That's a better question, in my opinion. Thanks for asking!
