Thanks for your post. I realize there are some problems with being able to sign up right now but this will be corrected. I don't have all the proven information but on the Medicare program this is not free and with Social Security on average about $1200 a month and the premium to those on the average is $105 a month. My point is for some folks this is the money they get monthly and they are paying the premium and I would think others should find it is possible to pay similar premiums. I am not complaining about retirees paying this amount. At least retirees has some coverage.
