Old enough to qualify? Huh?
In Australia, Medicare covers everyone. We pay for universal health care through our taxes. There is a 2% Medicare levy for people earning more than $24167 p.a.
Why are you Americans so scared of socialised health care? It has worked really well in the UK (NHS) and in Australia (Medicare).
I can go to any public hospital and receive free treatment. I can go to a bulk-billing GP and receive free treatment.
