Not necessarily, Bob.  It depends on your retirement plan.  *Some* folks buy 
a secondary policy.  Some folks get their retirement policy as supplement. 
Some retirement policies are primary with Medicare as the secondary.

Medicare Part A is the hospital part.  Medicare Part B is outpatient.  Then 
you have the Medicare Advantage plans which are seperate.

I had two 3" binders on Medicare when I did insurance for the rehab center. 
Now, it is three binders worth.
