You can fund them all out of your own savings if your political convictions are opposed to their existence. Once again conservatives bark the same old line ..."well, I paid into them". Of course every person who has FICA earnings pays into them .  But it took legislation which the Republicans bitterly opposed to get passed into law. Medicare you're will be automatically enrolled but if you wish to instead buy an open market policy premiums payed for entirely out of your own pocket and use it instead of  ]using Medicare you're welcome to do so.  Premiums for a policy like that to cover both you and your wife would probably be $2000 or more per month. I don't mean a Medicare supplement. I'm talking about a major medical policy.</p></blockquote><p></p>
