I go ballistic when a doc office asks for my social. Always refuse. But it's on my Medicare card.

According to the gubmint, they are rolling out new Medicare cards on which the SSN is replaced with a newly assigned Medicare Beneficiary Identifier.

"We've often heard from Congress, the General Accountability Office, people with Medicare, and advocacy groups that they want the SSN taken off Medicare cards."
