I Nearly all people who are
i 65 or will be within the
1 next few months will have
the hospital insurance pro
jection offered by Medicare,
even if they cannot receive
social security or railroad
retirement benefits. Bui
anyone who docs not now
receive either of these bene
fits must apply to get Medi
care protection.
In addition to hospital in
surance, Medicare provides
medical insurance which
will help pay doctors’ bills
and certain other medical
costs. Medical insurance is
voluntary and a person will
have Ihis protection only if
he signs up for it, Wyatt
continued.
Hospital insurance will
cost a person nothing after
Ihe retires. Medical insur
j ance will cost the people
| who sign up for it, $:;.00 .i
month, and tin federal gov
ernment will pay an equal
I amount. The premiums will
i not be due until the pro
: tee I ion starts next July.
Both parts of Medicare go
; into effect July I. l!)tf(i. Any
one who is 1 15. before Ja:ui
| ary 1, If)fid, will have medi
cal insurance protection only
if he signs up before March
31, Ittliti, he reminded.
W.yall outlined the steps
that different groups of
people (if) or older should
take to get health insurance
protect ion;
1. If you are on the so
cial security or railroad re
tirement rolls, you should
have already received the
enrollment card for volun
tary medical insurance. How
ever, you do not have to take
may action to he protected
under the basic hospital plan.
That coverage is automatic
for you.
2. If you are still work
ing, even if you don’t plan
to retire now, phone or write
your social security office.
You will need to apply for
both the basic hospital pro
tection and the voluntary
plan, covering primarily doc
tors’ fees. Many social se
curity offices arc open one
evening a week to serve you.
If you can, bring proof ol
your date of birth with you.
Labor is exercise continu
ed to fatigue; exercise is la
bor used only while it pro
duces pleasure.
—Samuel Johnson.
