Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but
the $100 is taken out of your Social Security payment before you receive it, so you do not really miss what you've never had.
Medicare is a wonderful plan.
If you've been without health care for a number of yrs, get connected with a good primary care doctor who will check you out very well at first.
