Do to injuries recieved in the military I find myself being placed on the disabled list at age 43. I have just been awarded full disability and with it comes medicare coverage.
My question is, since I have full VA benefits and use the VA system for all my medical and prescription needs, do I need to opt out of Medicare? the charge for me will be $158 a month. This seems high to me as my father is only charges $83 a month, but he is over 65 and I am only 43.
Just want to know the pro's and cons of having VA and or Medicare?
I have to make a decision before the first of the year.
Thank You
Nate
