.. and again America should have a NHS system. A NHS system covers everybody.

Which would be a terrible idea, both given how badly Medicare operates now and how terrible the UK's NHS is.

At their age, Medicare should have kicked in, although with other public aid.

Not everyone qualifies for medicare and even then it only covers 80% of costs. And even then, there are conditions and procedures it doesn't cover at all.

Who exactly is exempted from Medicare? afaik, the only real exemptions are non-citizenship and having too high of an income. Clearly they don't have too high of an income.

Even if they had medicare, they may have been on a Med Supp plan too, where you'll likely be paying hundreds a month when it isn't necessary.

...then wouldn't that have helped them?
