Assuming that you are asking if you can be self-employed and be on Medicare, the answer is yes! In fact, there are many seniors that are self-employed, and the number seems to be increasing.
There is also a separate tax deduction for health insurance if you are self-employed. This includes health, dental and long-term-care coverage for you and other family members.
And there's some good news. Last May, the IRS announced that Medicare premiums were also tax-deductible (subject to specific limitations and restrictions). And you do not have to itemize on your tax return to get the deduction.
Reputable websites that are operated by experienced brokers can offer additional specific information that may be helpful. You can also view quotes from top carriers and easily apply for coverage.

Group coverage on the other hand allows for an employee to continue health coverage past age 65. Depending on your state's definition of what a "group" is, you could swing it or you would have to move onto Medicare.
