A 2004 University of Michigan study reported that the veteran population is aging rapidly, with the percentage over age 65 expected to rise from 43% to 51% by 2010, and individuals over age 80 increasing eight-fold. For aging veterans the question often comes up about where they should get their health care.
Q. I have good medical coverage from the Veterans Affairs health program. Do I need to enroll in Medicare as well when I turn 65?
