I turned 65 April before last and went under Medicare as you say. My military ID card, as yours, states that medical expired 31 March, 2010. So, if you have other commercial insurance (like I do), you don't HAVE to take Medicare Part B. Part A is free but only covers hospitalization. Part B premium is $110/month, but goes up $40/ month if your AGI on your latest 1040 is $215K (maybe 214K, I don't recall), and then the next step is an additional $90 or something like that.

After a back surgery and time in the hospital for a leg laceration that got infected, I realized that going without Part B is an unwise decision....:>(
