Notice that Medicare Part A will automatically be deducted.

OK, I'm not 'up' on these things, but I was surprised to receive a statement from Sosec stating that Medicare hospital and medical insurance will be taken out of my SSD next month. I currently have private insurance, which must now be cancelled.

I 'thought' one must 'apply' for this; I just turned 64. Please enlighten me. Thank you!
