Should I Drop Medicare Part B?
Advisers all say don’t drop Part B, however I simply cannot afford it any more. I am one of those not “held harmless” in the new increase in cost. I do have excellent insurance though my government retirement, though. I will have to pay a co-pay and have a deductible, but it won’t cost me almost $200 a month like I pay now for Part B. My Blue Cross will cover me just like it did before I turned 65 and that was affordable for me for 30 years. Am I missing something?

The foregoing does not include what we have to pay as co-pays; actual out of pocket expenses, etc. that are NOT covered by health insurance supplemental and 20% from medicare — our part to pay.
