Social Security & Medicare Questions: Early Retirement and Health Insurance Premiums
Q: I was born on July 7, 1940 and turn 65 this year. I took early retirement at age 62, but my health insurance premiums have gone up so much, that I’m considering going back to work. I understand that I may earn as much as I want to without losing benefits now that I’m 65. Is this correct?

Q: Medicare Prescription Drug Discount cards are worthless, confusing, and need to be changed. What good are the discount cards if you can't be told the cost of your medication before it's filled? Even with a discount, one may not be able to afford the medicine. We should be able to find out the cost of each pill before we purchase. Our seniors, disabled, and consumers should be able to pay the same price for medication that Canada and Mexico are paying. If Congress can give themselves a $4,000 pay raise in 2005, please someone tell me why we can't get medication cheaper? Push to Grant Legal Status to Millions of Illegal Immigrants Renewed
