Colorado Access cuts Medicare coverage, workforce

[SheilaT]

1. ??? Medicare is a federal program

and has nothing to do with the states.

If you're over 65 you get Medicare. The vast majority of people that age get Part A (hospitalization) for free. If they want coverage for doctors they sign up for Part B, which mostly costs $104.50/month. They can also, and separately, sign up for and Advantage Plan (which I've done), some of which cost more money, some of which (like mine) don't.

But a state can't axe Medicare coverage.
