If you have a good employer health insurance plan in retirement, and you are not required to have Medicare Part B, I would suggest that you do the math to see if Medicare is worth the cost, especially if you are subject to IRMAA. In my case, as a retired Federal employee, Medicare has never been worth cost, so I have never signed up for it. Most of the Medicare Part B benefits are redundant with my Federal insurance plan.
