I recently signed up for Medicare, and thought I had to enroll in Medicare Part B, because they put all sorts of fear language into the "if you don't enroll" text, but I found out that since I have full medical insurance, I don't have to pay that Part B (more than $170/month!) after all. So I informed medicare that I wish to withdraw from the part B, but they make the effective end date the end of the month AFTER the month you request ending it! So I'm having to pay over $340 for the lousy thing!
