A few other groups have been added, including those who have been disabled 2+ years, those with end stage renal disease, and ALS. But the purpose of Medicare has never been for the poor; that is Medicaid. Medicare was started with the purpose of helping the elderly with their health care needs.Answered on August 28, 2013flag this answer
