Lady, I know it is confusing, but it doesn't have to be as confusing if you use one of the many "calculators" that some of the Medicare sites offer. I think the confusion here, however, is that you can only carry COBRA if you were working at the time of your disablity. Here is some information about COBRA: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq_consumer_cobra.HTML And some information on how COBRA and Medicare work together: http://onque.com/tips/cobraandmedicare.html
