Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Under Fla. Stat. 627.6741, the open enrollment protections extend to under-65 Medicare eligibles, including persons entitled to Medicare because of disability or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). These beneficiaries receive the same 6-month guaranteed-issue window keyed to Part B enrollment as those 65 and over. The right flows from Medicare eligibility itself, not from Medicaid or any other program.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) A person who has never enrolled in Medicare has no Part B enrollment to trigger open enrollment.
- C) Minors under a parent's group plan are covered by group rules, not Medicare supplement open enrollment.
- D) Medicaid receipt is not the trigger; Medicare eligibility based on disability or ESRD is.

ESRD counts — kidney failure opens the door too.
