Medicare is health insurance for people 65 and over and those under 65 with certain disabilities. Most people get Medicare when they turn 65. If you’re disabled, it begins 24 months after you started collecting Social Security Disability.

The Actors Fund is a national human services organization here to meet the needs of our entertainment community with a unique understanding of the challenges involved in a life in the arts.
