If your wife is 71 why did u not sign up up when u where 65? Are you a citizen or a greencard holder. As I said in the other post, you need to pay into Social Security to get Medicare at least 10 years (40 qtrs)
Again, try your Office of Aging or Social Service Dept.
It depends on your income levels for community Medicaid or QMB programs. Also the state you live in. What is your income and state?, Maybe we could help see if you qualify.
You are posting 2 of the same questions, but neither make sense. Think about what your question really is, and edit this post to give us more details about your needs.
