instead just allow people the choice to keep the insurance plans that they are currently are already on, when they change jobs or retire

Unless I'm remembering wrong, I was given a choice to decline Medicare last spring when I turned 65. As I recall, the notice said that I'd be automatically enrolled unless I notified Medicare of my decline.

From that, I assume a person could opt out and then just buy their own insurance policy in the open market. Don't know why anyone would want to though. I'm getting the same benefits I got when I had a group plan including the same doctors and clinics. Nothing has changed, so why would I want to pay twice as much for it by maintaining my own policy?
