B. A 70-year old NOT eligible for Social Security
C. A 55-year old suffering from kidney failure
D. A 65-year old retiree

Answer 1

Medicare Part A provides hospital expense coverage to eligible individuals. It is automatically available to 65-year-old retirees who are eligible for Social Security benefits, but not automatically available to others such as 50-year-old SSDI recipients, 70-year-olds who are not eligible for Social Security, or 55-year-olds with kidney failure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Medicare Part A provides hospital expense coverage to eligible individuals. It is automatically made available to individuals who are eligible for Social Security benefits, which includes those who are 65 years old and retired. However, it is not automatically available to a 50-year-old individual who has qualified for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in the last 24 months, a 70-year-old who is not eligible for Social Security, or a 55-year-old suffering from kidney failure.
