Wow! I don’t get that the Michigan Retirement system won’t give you insurance 
because you don’t have Part A or rather Part B, Medicare.  I just requested the 
forms I need to get my retirement benefits back, and they never asked me about 
whether I had Medicare of any kind.  So, it shouldn’t matter for you either, 
since you’re on the same system we all are.  And, you’re on the DB system, not 
the DC.  I sure hope Fred or one of us can fix that.  I talked with Brenda who 
has worked there for 37 years, when I called last week.  I told her that I 
thought she was the main one I worked with at the Retirement office for all you 
operators.  She only said that she helped a lot of people retire. So, she also 
had to look on my file, and told me to submit my paperwork and remind them to 
change my status regarding this DB and DC stuff.  So, maybe you should try 
again.  Hopefully you won’t need medical insurance between the time you lose 
Linda’s Cobra until you get this all straightened out.  You’ve been through so 
much already.  Enough is enough if you know what I mean.  Or maybe you can get 
Medicaid to cover in the meanwhile, through Obama care.

OK, Vicki Rolison says there are smart people on this list?  OK smart people I 
have a problem.

In 2009 I discontinued my part b and medicare since I was gonna be on my wifes 
insurence.  She retired last march and cobra runs out in October.

In July I wanted to reinstate the medicare part b.  They said I can't since I 
waited to long after my wife retired.  You have to do it with in 8 months of 
retirement.  Since she retired in March of 2013 I blew that.  I can't get 
medicare until January and it won't start until July of 2015.

All other insurence takes 6 months to start.  I can't even get insurence 
through my retirement from vending in michigan because I don't have parts a and 
b medicare.  I do have part a so at least there's that.  I'm putting this out 
there so no one else makes the same mistake.  After september I'll have no 
insurence at age 62.  I really screwed up.To send a message,
