You mentioned this before and I checked with Medicare and they advised you can go from Group insurance to Cobra to Medicare no problem. I guess the caveat is that you need to start Meidcare the month you turn 65. If you pass 65 then I agree you can have a problem. That's the case anytime you decide not to start medicare at 65 cause there are penalties

Please provide something in writing that states what you claim.

PLEASE!!!
