I never really gave it any thought, just always had it. Thanks...

If Medicare covers you for injuries due to an accident, just remember if you are suing someone for damages for your injuries, Medicare and your supplemental will place a lien on your settlement to get reimbursed for money Medicare paid your healthcare providers . Also the Veterans administration general council will place a lien on your settlement and you will need to
appeal and prove any any treatment not related to treatment of your injuries due to your accident. A real hassle. Maybe consider keeping uninsured motorists insurance. You can’t double dip .
