Vic --
A lot of ppl have made good points:
You may lose good coverage, if you discontinue your insurance plan, and use only medicare. It might be difficult to get the meds and procedures covered that you do now.
Your plan should have a deductible/co-pay. This makes me wonder if you can't do both, as some do. Choose an insurance plan with a higher deductible, so your out-of-pocket costs are lower, and have medicare be your secondary insurance.
Just thinking. I don't think anyone needs to feel guilty for utilizing government benefits that they have contributed to, for others, all these years, and are eligible for.
