I wish somebody would explain to me why I signed up for Medicare when I became eligible, because I sure don't understand it.

I had retired government employee coverage that was acceptable to me, although I have no great love for any sort of insurance company.

For a year before becoming 65 I was bombarded with offers to sign up for Medicare with different companies. I called my own company BC/BS and they said I didn't need to worry about it.

Finally, one BC contact said I could sign up for Part A, which shifts the burden from BC to Medicare. I did sign up for Medicare after typical SNAFUS of proving to the government that I'm actually who I say I am and they've known all along.

I can see how this benefits BC/BS, but I fail to see how it benefits ME! Why did I go to the trouble?? Somebody please tell me!
