Reply #22: medicare costs...$78/mon to medicare, ca $200 for medigap [View All]

[bobbieinok]

medicare goes up ca $10 in 2006

prescription drug card ca $35/mon......to help pay for prescriptions....if you don't think you need it now but then decide later you need it (a medical problem requiring expensive drugs, etc) you will pay a penalty for not signing up when you could have

medigap payments depend upon which plan you opt for and which state you live in


FIND OUT YOUR OPTIONS IN MEDICARE BEFORE YOU MUST SIGN UP

if you are 65 and not working you MUST sign up for Medicare, even if you're still eligible for Cobra (I had about 16 months of a very good plan left)
