So we should only sign up for Parts A & B. We don't need a Medicare Advantage plan if we will have TFL? I no longer consider Medicare a benefit. It's a hassle and going to end up costing me more than my current ins. Not happy about being forced to sign up (insert buy) Medicare.

I'm a USAFR retiree and don't use Tricare as I'm self employed. Can I sign up for Tricare for Life when I sign up for Medicare A & B? Also, my wife is 2 years older than me. When she is eligible to sign up for Medicare A & B, can she sign up for Tricare for Life even though I won't be eligible for 2 years?

If I have Tricare for Life (the supplemental insurance) Why do I need MediGap? Seems redundant to TFL.
