I just wondered because they are supposed to ask that for coding the bill for insurance reimbursement. I guess there is a reason that in order to get Social Security you must sign up for Medicare. That way the government knows everything about you. They take money out of Social Security every month topay for Medicare. What if you are healthy and want to pay out of pocket, if you need medical care? No, they have already extracted over $2700/month for insurance which you might not need. You have zero choice.
