So I will be finally getting my Medicare. What are y'all using for part D? Who has C?
Medicare is not taxed, you social security check is.Biden will tax it AGAIN! Medicare was originally tax exempt. Biden made it 50% taxed, and THEN 85% taxed. Look for him to tax it 100%.
They will let me know in 2 weeks. WTF I really don't have 2weeks for their reply!Were you given a reason?
Not sure? Being disabled might be considered a pre existing condition.Pre existing condition?
More like nerve racking on my end! I guess tomorrow I ask my insurance man if he offers anything.Interesting.
Are you asking about within the context of Medicare rules/operation? If so, the answer is, no. Medicare, itself, makes no distinction between veterans and non veterans. I retired 2.5 years ago and selected Plan 'G'. So this gives me Hospitalization (Part A), Medical (Part B) and the deductibles/out-of-pocket expenses as defined by Plan G. I also bought a 'supplemental' Prescription (Part 'D') coverage. My supplemental plan costs $132.50/mo. which uses SilverScript (plus, still has me paying a copay on one or two prescriptions - depends on the "tier classification" of the drug, in their formulary).Is there a difference between vet, non vet, in the discussion?

I suspect (and I'm only guessing, here), there may be a way to get prescription drugs {only} through the VA hospital at a far more economical price. I've been meaning to give that another shot. The last time I tried to get registered at the Dallas VA hospital, I waited all day and my number still wasn't called to be served. I also got to witness an older black veteran (who, mentally, really needed help / medical attention), and had the Dallas cops called on him when he started acting up. He was handcuffed, arrested and got to spend the night in jail for throwing a cigarette ashtray stand across the floor of the waiting room. He was truly, mentally a broken man who had pretty much waited all day and really needed medical treatment. I left the Dallas VA hospital and haven't been back in twenty years.
For Part 'D', I used a company called, 'Philadelphia American'. I don't have Part 'C'. When my wife's open enrollment takes place, I'll see if I can jump on her Dental Plan for a reasonable cost.What are y'all using for part D?
