How do you get Medicare Part A?
For most people, Medicare Part A is free. By turning 65 you are automatically enrolled in original Medicare. Original Medicare includes both Medicare Part A and Part B Medicare. However, if you or your spouse worked and paid Medicare taxes for less than 10 years, you may have to pay a monthly fee.

The downfall to Medicare Part A is that in most cases you are only covered %80. What does this mean exactly? It means that you are responsible for paying what isn't covered-the remaining 20%. To many people, 20% seems like a low amount, that is until they owe an outrageous amount of money.

Here are a few examples of major surgeries that are common in the senior citizens.

-Knee Replacement Surgery: About $44,000
-Hip Replacement Surgery: About $40,000
-Heart Attack: About $45,000
