Bill > S2810

This bill would allow individuals who are eligible for Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) to choose to opt out of receiving these benefits, with several key provisions. Specifically, individuals can voluntarily elect to decline Medicare Part A coverage by following a process established by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The bill ensures that those who opt out can later choose to re-enter the program without facing penalties, and they are not required to simultaneously opt out of Social Security benefits (title II). Importantly, if someone chooses to opt out, they would not be required to repay any Medicare Part A benefits they received before making this election. The bill appears designed to provide more personal choice in healthcare coverage for Medicare-eligible individuals, giving them flexibility to decide whether they want to participate in the government-sponsored hospital insurance program.
