It's my understanding that Medicare will now be your 1st insurance and your husband's coverage will pickup whatever Medicare doesn't pay. It's also my understanding that you don't really have a choice....even though you have good insurance already. If I'm wrong somebody please correct me.

I wish I had the answer for you but I am still a rookie at this stuff. Congratulations on being approved!

What happens if you decline Medicare and then your husband loses his health ins.? You will be w/o health ins.

I am 45. My husband is 52 and still working and provides health insurance for our family.

I declined the Medicare.......heck.....it's an extra $100 a month taken out of your check plus you would still need a MC prescription plan.

They send you out an updated MC card saying you have part A....hospital coverage, but no part B.

If I suddenly lose my insurance, I can reactivate the MC
