Hi, Yes indeed. Worse I have to keep a health plan as my wife would be not be able to get one on her own. So when I retired a year ago and became a genuine card carrying senior old fart.... I was informed by the plan that one of the provisions (in tiny print) was that upon proper age ( ) it was necessary to sign up for medicare part B or forfeit membership in the plan. Guess what? Part B isn't free. It is another 100 a month plus the plan raised the cost 235 more a month. A genuine catch 22. IMHO the entire health insurance and medical community needs a major revamping.
