I was NOT required to sign up for Medicare & I did NOT do so.

Now 78, and have had only one instance where I could have used it. Cataract surgery. Got a decent CASH price from the doc. Paid Cash.

One doesn't "sign up" for Medicare Part A when you turn 65. The government does it for you. It is mandated for all seniors when they turn 65. It is required whether or not you need it or want it.

Good news, it is free.
