Mikey,
You never did tell us how you got on Secure Horizons.
To join Secure Horizons, you have to be on Medicare part A.
To be on Medicare part A, you have to be at age 65 without having to pay
premiums if:
* You already get retirement benefits from Social Security or the
Railroad Retirement Board.
* You are eligible to get Social Security or Railroad benefits but
haven't yet filed for them.
* You or your spouse had Medicare-covered government employment.
If you are under 65, you can get Part A without having to pay premiums
if you have:
* Received Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board disability
benefits for 24 months.
* End-Stage Renal Disease and meet certain requirements.
So either you are lying about your age, or you are lying about not being
on SSDI or you are lying about Secure Horizons, or you are just lying.
