    It is possible for felons to get Medicare. They must meet some certain conditions, such as a waiting period of 5-15 years before they can apply for Medicare benefits (the less serious the crime, the shorter the waiting period). This can possibly be reduced by one year with a letter from a probation officer, or it could be waived in the event of end stage renal failure. The felon cannot be a fugitive or currently incarcerated.
