But i believe it requires lots of documentation and time for any body to become eligible for them?

Medicare is quite beneficial for everyone. Be it Medicare or not, you'll always need to share your health conditions with your carrier during underwriting. If you're gonna hide anything, you might lose coverage in the end.

To qualify for Medicare at age 65 requires nothing other than proof of one's age. To receive Medicare Part A "premium-free" at that age, one only needs to be "fully insured" (to have accumulated the necessary 40 credits). No documentation needed, unless Social Security Administration's records are faulty.
There is no "underwriting" for Medicare, so disclosures are, essentially, unnecessary. Claims are either covered or they are not -- on the basis of "medical necessity".
Other "government" (social) insurance programs may require different "documentation", but generally, those requirements are nominal. Only Social Security Disability truly has "onerous" qualifications to be approved for benefits.
