[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 1464155, member: 257"] I have my retiree health insurance AND am just now of Medicare. No way would I drop everything else to depend on that as my sole means of health care. Some places won't accept medicare because of the hoops they have to jump through and the time taken to reimburse (and at what %)? Not unlike all insurance but the difference is that there are options for providers that are less burdensome. If all insurance companies pressed for pricing limits and such like M does, then they'd have fewer ways to dodge, but that's not reality. Don't delay signing up though. I will never qualify for SS because I don't have enough quarters. I thought that meant I also didn't qualify for Medicare. Oops. Wrong. I waited until I was 67 because it was only then that I learned otherwise. I now (and for the rest of my life) will pay an extra 20% (10% per year) because I DIDN'T use taxpayer's money for 2 years.
