"No, because the law does not allow a person to purchase individual insurance coverage after they become Medicare eligible." "My insurance cannot cover her because she is Medicare aged. See above." Are you covered by group insurance? "In certain cases, you can delay your Medicare Part B enrollment without having to pay higher premiums. If you didn’t take Medicare Part B when you were first eligible because you or your spouse were working and had group health plan coverage through your or your spouse’s employer or union, you can sign up for Medicare Part B during a Special Enrollment Period. You can sign up: Anytime you are still covered by the employer or union group health plan through your or your spouse’s current or active employment, orDuring the 8 months following the month the employer or union group health plan coverage ends, or when the employment ends (whichever is first)." "by the time I am eligible for Medicare Obamacare will be in full effect and it will be more difficult for Medicare patients to be seen by a physician." Nonsense......you have any facts or just your declaration... "Medicare and Medicaid patients will receive the lesser services of midlevel practitioners while privately insured individuals will receive physician care." More nonsense....... But Arkansas is already mostly serviced by PA's so you won't notice a difference.
