My husband is within a year of retirement at age 66. He had medical insurance through the company. I carry a seperate coverage card. Today I had my annual physical and the billing people could not get my coverage recognized. It turned out although in the past I have always been seperately listed under my own ss# . since I have now turned 65, I am now linked to my husbands ss# and no longer am recognized as a second entity. When he retires and medicare kicks in, neither one of us will be recognized. The price os aging in the US.

Feeling a bit bitter.
