It may be applicable. Buying property for rental and receiving a private pension does not affect qualifying for Medicare. If your husband qualifies for Medicare than you will also qualify the same as any American when you reach 65. My wife has never worked but she receives the same benefits as I do by virtue of being my spouse.
