I have questions about Medicare

[CTyankee]

3. Medicare basically covers 80% of my Part B (Part A is the hospital) which is dr. visits.

Part D is the prescription coverage.

So I have a supplementary policy through AARP to cover the 20% and another prescription drug plan. Both that cost and a set amount for medical is taken out of my SS check each month. I pay the extra supplemental out of pocket each month.

Other health needs are not covered by Medicare such as certain charges in my vision health needs and none of my dental needs.

The poor must rely also on Medicaid kicking in what Medicare doesn't cover but I am not familiar with how that works exactly since I wouldn't qualify for Medicaid...
