It's automatically deducted from your SS check.
It won't be automatically deducted from my SS check since I don't get a SS check. The process is different for those of us who aren't enrolled in SS. For example, I will receive no notice that I am eligible for Medicare. I have to know to initiate the process myself. I found that out only by digging.
You engaged "interpretive confusion", by digging deeper when it wasn't necessary, thus the confusion.
If you could tell me which bit of digging was not necessary, I'd appreciate your view. I thought all my reasons were good. Which ones weren't? Do you not think it would be smart to know how much my Part B will cost before I elect it? And how much effort will be required from me? And for a voter and taxpayer to know more about the public policy aspects, for example, the fact that Medicare is now partially means tested. Maybe that isn't necessary, but it's hardly a bad thing. Now, part of my digging was in response to a question from DMA. I don't suppose one could consider researching another poster's question exactly necessary, but it's nice to be cooperative, don't you think?
I fail to see how my digging has produced greater confusion, interpretive or otherwise. I know I'm not more confused. I know some useful things I didn't know before I dug and in other areas, what to look for or ask about. Perhaps the alleged confusion is in the eye of the reader, not the digger.
Trees. Forest. Can't see., etc.
Sorry, I can't identify either forest or trees in this scenario. The analogy is, er, confusing. |
