I'm Retiring in 17 days (that is just a coincidence) I'm excited. I have worked hard for this! Anyone ever have to sign up for Medicare, what a mess that is!

They forced me to take Medicare (3 months before, I think) turning 65. So my very good insurance became my secondary & Medicare became my Primary. Then you end up paying for both insurance to cover ???? & if your income increases they charge you more for you Medicare Insurance. Circle!!!!

I have been accused of being a negative person for stating facts....

Ford forced every retired employee onto medicare and stopped the good insurance we had thru them. Even though we were promised health insurance as part of our retirement package after 30 years of service. They then gave us$1800 a year to pay for our own insurance (medicare/supplement plan, dental, hearing, etc.). The amount has not changed in the last 20 years even though the cost of insurance has risen quite a bit.
