Going from cobra to medicare ins.
I know after you have been on disability for 2 years, you become eligible for medicare. I've got a couple months to go and I'm wondering about the medicare insurance. I am under 65, do I still get choices of the parts I will be covered under? I can't afford a secondary insurance, but what parts of medicare do I need to cover my prescriptions, oncologists, hospitals & on & on. My cobra ins. is $440.00 a month, hopefully medicare will be cheaper, but I'm just worried will it cover what I need. Those of you on medicare, please tell me what to expect.
