Half of seniors yet to sign up for Medicare Part B
Washington UPI reports with under half of the 18.5 million eligible seniors enrolled in Medicare Part B at $3 monthly. The plan covers doctor visits, hospital services, X rays, and more with 80 percent after a $50 annual deductible, financed half by the government. Reasons for rejection include inability to pay, existing private insurance, and general misunderstanding, prompting a Social Security survey to assess misinformation.
