		<description><![CDATA[When a person becomes eligible to receive Medicare Part B, they will be automatically enrolled in Part B at the same time that they are enrolled in Medicare Part A. However, they can opt out of Part B if they like. There is a form provided in the Medicare packet that can simply be sent back to voluntarily terminate Medicare Part B.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Medicare Part B is indeed voluntary. But before you refuse it, consider this. If you change your mind at a point in the future you will be required to pay a late enrollment penalty.

For each 12 month delay you pay a 10% penalty.

Outpatient charges can be significant if you do not have Medicare Part B. Most carriers will not issue a Medigap plan if you do not have Part A and B.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In most cases, when someone turns 65 they are automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B. The exception is if someone is working full time, then they will need to enroll themselves.

If you don&#039;t want to keep the Part B coverage, you send back a card that is provided, stating that you want to drop it. If you keep that card, you keep the Part B coverage and pay the Part B premiums.]]></description>
