"Original Medicare" is not as good as Medicaid. Income limits for Medicaid when you are under 65 are higher than after 65 when you have Medicare. Medicare requires you to pay 20% of your medical bills - with no cap. And drug costs for people on Medicare can be outrageous. That's the stupid, disfunctional for-profit system Americans have settled for.
