Ok, been on Medicare for 3 years now. Here is my understanding.

Part "A" is required. Not terribly expensive. I think I pay about $400/quarter.

Next is Part "B" also known as MediGap. I have top tier package and pay about $150/month

I also have Part "D" which is prescription drug plan.

There is also a Part "C" which is a privately run version of Medicare called Medicare Advantage. Not 100% sure but I think it is Part A, B, and C rolled up. While it low cost, it is also basically a HMO approach to healthcare.

Talk to an expert before you drop out of Part and B. There are very strict rules about moving in and out of various coverages. You don't want to lose this coverage.
