Depends on how good your current coverage is Medicare has a yearly deductible and a copayment of 20% of allowable charges. The good thing about Medicare is that you don't need a referral for specialists and most Health Care providers will accept it. Does your current coverage have a limited provider network?

If you travel, you need to check your network provider access. Are there any copays for visits? Is there any preauthorizations required for imaging or other expensive tests?

Does it have any lifetime limits? Have you looked at whether your current coverage can be added as a secondary to Medicare? This would cover the deductible and the 20% copayments.

You really have to compare the benefits and the restrictions of your current plan carefully.

If you can pick up Medicare later due to a change in status, that may be okay, provided you don't have a pre-existing condition that flares up in the first 12 months.It's a gamble - it could go either way I'd think.

You should get go ahead and take the Medicare, because not all parts cost you. You can choose to just take the hospital part, and it won't cost you anything, so I'd take it if I were you. You never know what is to come in the future, and the hospital plan may eventually come in handy, and if not you won't have spent any money on it!.

I would talk to an attorney I think it would depend on whether you could change your mind in the future and take Medicare, because most employer sponsored medical insurance can vanish on a second's notice on the whim of the company.

Or will it cost" "I just recieved my medicare card I have Health Insurance At my job.To save$$ Can I drop the Ins. From work? " "Why would anyone from the US not want to give free health care to those who can't afford it?

Isn't that a bit inhumane? " "Where can I get help to choose a supplemental health care provider once I am on Medicare? " "How do you start a home health transportation service that medicaide an medicare will cover?" "How much of your health insurance information is available to your employer?

Medicare fraud costs taxpayers billions each year - don't we need to fix this before we think about turning all health.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
