Medicare is the primary payer for retired people who have the mandatory A. It is Federal law. So, if you still have your employers coverage and are over 65 and working, you have to convince new providers that you do not have Medicare.
Many employers would have continued Health Insurance for employees if no Medicare. Similar happened with "Medicare D", they dropped their retirees prescription plan.
Under Obamacare, many employers may opt to pay the fine and drop their employees health insurance, it wouldbe cheaper. Next stop, pure socialized medicine with rationing. OMG
