Answer 2

Part A is inpatient hospital coverage. It has a per occurrence deductible of $1024. As mentioned, it is at no extra charge as long as you've worked and paid into the system for 40 quarters. If you haven't you can purchased Part A; the premium will depend upon how many quarters you did work.

Part B is for everything else. It has a premium of at least $96.40 per month, more if you are high income. It has a yearly deductible of $135.

Part C is Medicare Advantage plans and Part D is prescription drug coverage. Both are provided by private insurance companies. Part C gets rid of the deductibles and the 20% and many have a low or even a $0 premium.
