The subsidy is likely going to be similar to what they are subsidizing today - I would use that as benchmark for making plans. My guess is that whatever they are offering is likely better than what your going to find elsewhere. Each state/locality is different - my friends a retired teacher his retirement plan was excellent compared to anything else available.

Medicare and SS aren’t tied together.
Also you will still need a supplemental policy to pick up what SS doesn’t cover.

If you don't get SS benefits does that exclude you from Medicare?

It excludes you from Part A. It doesn't exclude you from part B but you will have to pay for that.

I'm a retired state employee from NY, and we paid Social Security. I'm frankly surprised to see all the posts of civil servants who didn't have to pay in to it. I hadn't realized that was possible.

I've planned a few long term deposits and planning to set up insurance for all of my family members.
