Can someone please explain the basics of Medicare? The way I understand it Part A is for hospitalization and is free for anyone who paid medicare taxes while working. Part B is health insurance and costs around $105 or so? Part D is for prescriptions?
Someone is telling me that if I leave my employer health insurance and buy my own, I will get no Medicare subsidy from my employer and I will pay closer to $500 per month for Medicare at 65. This doesnt sound right to me. Any help?
I paid no SS taxes as a police officer but I believe I do have 40 quarters from previous jobs and security work I did on the side while working as a police officer. Does this even have anything to do with Medicare? I paid Medicare taxes my while career.
