I am sorry to hear you were given this advice. I would contact Medicare back. I thought you could reelect to get Medicare B back during the open enrollment period, I think it is in October or November; however, you may have to pay a higher premium for Part B. If I have this wrong, I apologize but a friend did something similar and was able to get it back.; this was a few years ago, perhaps the policy has changed. The other option perhaps then is to find an individual policy or medicare supplement. I wish you well in trying to find something.
