Correct. Can you disenroll from Medicare if you’re over 65? Just curious.

Wait. If a person over 65 (as an example) has Medicare and private insurance, Medicare is always the primary.

We’re you saying the exception would be if that person has a spouse who is working. Otherwise, Medicare is the primary.

Only if you’re on the wife’s plan. When I was still working, my husband was on Medicare only.
