Ernie,
Anyone that worked and paid into Social Security has Medicare if they want it. Part A which covers hospital and major services is free if you PAID in while working. My checks used to almost double in take home pay in June when I would have my full years Social Security paid in. I have my Medicare Part A Health Insurance card right in front of me. Also if you would go read some of that so called Health Care Bill, it accepts Medicare as a legitimate coverage and you don't have to buy more. Look under Section 5000, Individual Requirements or whatever it is, Subsection f.
