medicare coverage for drugs?

[Guest guest]

I have also wondered about this topic. I am 60 yrs. old, so I hope I live

long enough to receive Medicare. BUT, when I do, what happens?? I take

Tasigna 800 mg. per day. It is extremely expensive. I am a retired teacher

and have my health insurance which covers the cost right now. I thought

it was automatic that Medicare becomes your primary ins. and your employee

coverage becomes secondary when you turn 65. Is that true or not? Can I

opt to keep my currrent insurance or prescription coverage as primary? I

don't know anything about this.

Thanks,
