Cancer or similar will not be treated. Life is a mist.

Of course it’s your life and your choice. If you don’t take Medicare B at 65, they charge you when you do enroll. Don’t think you have a choice with Medicare A—that’s automatic and covers (I think) hospitalization. Two years ago I was diagnosed with a “moderately aggressive” form of prostate cancer that without treatment would likely spread to the bones which I’ve been told is very unpleasant.

Had the prostate removed. Medicare B and a Supplemental Plan covered everything. Recent PSA tests show that there are still some of the little bastards around, so I go in for radiation treatments in the next few weeks. Prognosis is good, but without Medicare B & Supplemental Plan I’d be out tens of thousands. Except for gout, I’ve enjoyed very good health, up until the cancer diagnosis. Just saying, you never know.

We trust the Lord.

BTW, my wife’s first husband dies in his late 20’s of leukimia, leaving her with three kids under the age of 8 and no life insurance.
