Individuals who are under age 65 and have a disability.
Explanation: Medicare covers people 65+, and also people under 65 who meet disability criteria (or who have ESRD/ALS). Being below the poverty level is Medicaid, not Medicare; 9 years (36 quarters) of Medicare-covered employment is below the 40-quarter (10-year) requirement for premium-free Part A; and being 50 or younger is not by itself a Medicare qualifier.
