Guest guest Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 When I turned 66 a few months ago, I got a letter from SS that I was no longer on SSD. So, I guess your answer is 66 years of age. I don't know what the rules are, but Betty's sister is complaining about having to pay $110 for her Medicare. We're using a Medicare Advantage plan and are only paying $96.40, and Betty's paycheck is only $170 per month. I've heard a few people complain about losing good insurance just because they are *eligible* for Medicare. Also, we who draw SS will not get a cost of living raise at least through 2012, and maybe not after that. Our costs still go up, though. We can thank the Obama administration for that. Think about how much we are losing because of the government. Dennis in eastexas On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 8:58 AM, e <AMMACLARKE@...> wrote: > > > I am on SSD now.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 , Why do you have to go off your husband's insurance? Is this the company policy? A lot of people keep their other insurance when they go on Medicare. I used to work for an insurance company. Your husband needs to contact his HR dept about this. Take care.

I've been covered with health insurance through my husbands work. We pay no deductible and it covers all my chiropractor visits Now that I automatically qualify for Medicare, I HAVE to go off the good, free insurance. I now have $110 taken out of my SSD check monthly for Part B, have a $200 deductible and have a limited amount of chiro visits.
