6. Are you sure? Part A is no premium unless one has not worked 40 quarters. Everyone pays Part B

premiums, though from what I hear, some Medicare Advantage programs pay the Part B premium.

I'm not and never have been in Medicare Advantage, so I can't say from personal experience. As a traditional Medicare person with a Supplement plan, I pay Part B premiums (it's deducted from my Social Security check), but not part A. (But I can assert that Part A has no premium for those with a work record of 40 quarters or more from voluminous material that I have read. But Part A does have a deductible).

Edited to add: https://www.medicare.gov/basics/costs/medicare-costs

Part A Medicare costs me a monthly premium.
Part B hasn't since I started early SS benefit and then enrolled in Part B which cost 0.


I appreciate your outline.


Thanks
