All of my serious medical disabilities happened as a result of bad things that happened in the hospital, or due to bad treatment by doctors.
So, I don't really care about having medical insurance. I'll just keep doing what I did before I qualified for Medicare - seeing the nice doctors at a local clinic. Much lower co-pays. Also, it's really difficult to find a doctor that accepts Medicare.

I've heard that you can get rid of it by writing a letter to Medicare asking them to cancel your plan. Call Medicare to confirm this and find out what address to send your letter to.
Also note, some states have assistance programs that will pay Medicare premiums. If you call 211 they can probably direct you to the right place to confirm this.
