I'm not an expert, soooooo.... I did read through the whole Medicare book they send every year. I even bought a book on the subject many years ago when I was in my 60's. I'll say this, the Medicare book from SS is painfully lacking in detail. No one could read it if it was complete.

You left out a key part.
Even if you don’t qualify for Social Security, you can sign up for Medicare at 65 as long you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. You will have to pay Medicare directly for all coverage, including Part A (unless you or your spouse are among the small number of state and local government employees who paid Medicare taxes but not Social Security taxes; in this case, you may be able to get Part A for free).
