Hi, I just recieved a letter in the mail from Medicare. I guess my two years on disability are up shortly and they say I am able to get medicare. Part A is hospital is free, Part B is Medical and you pay about $54.00 a month for it. You need a second policy to cover what Medicare does not. The second policy are ones like Pa. has "Gold" ones for the elderly. My current insurance has paid for everything, but it is expensive. I am not sure if the Medicare way would not leave me outstanding bills???? Also, there is something known as SSI.Supplemental Security Income. I guess it is more income monthly, if you fall under certain catagories, differs by state also. I need to look into this more. An appointment with your social security office could answer all questions.gnelson,Stage IV,2years Cancer FREE.
