So I spent 45 minutes today trying to decipher medicare part a b and d. Here's what I learned.
1 medicare guidance is confusing
2 there are plenty of people who will try to sell you insurance
3 part a is free to most people
4 part b is never free and may or may not be required depending on your situation and there may or may not be irs fines if you don't get
I have no idea why people get frustrated with our government.

@KGinKS My mother managed to completely screw up her Medicare. She didn't sign up for the mandatory program so she had to pay fines. Plus she'd overpaid on all her meds, for years, because of what she hadn't signed up for.
The woman lived on $25,000 a year and ended up having to pay the government because her health care provider in Maine didn't bother to tell her what she needed to do. (When she moved to Oregon with me, Kaiser Permanente caught the mistakes immediately.)
