Same here, Kevin. It was explained to me by many people that I should set it up this way. I know it is confusing.

I know that different insurances do things its own way, so what my ins pays may differ from other plans.....but I just think you must have something that covers co-pay et al........

I have never used Medicare, but have been paying about $100 a month for it for about 10 years out of my SSDI. Blue Cross is my primary insurance. I am thinking of dropping Medicare for now to save money. I was told I could always reapply for it later, that it takes about 3 months to get it back. I would like opinions on whether there could be negative repercussions to dropping it for now. As I mentioned, I've never used it in 10 years. Kevin
