If he skips buying health insurance will there be a penalty? The Health Insurance Guys have an answer.

Dear Tom and Alan: I have a bone to pick with you two. You consistently tell people turning 65 to get Medicare A & B and then add a supplement and a drug plan because their level of coverage will go up and their monthly payment will go down. My uncle is in his nineties and still works at the company he founded. I asked him about it and he tells me it would cost him a large amount of money to get off his company policy and sign up for Medicare B and a supplement. Currently, he’s on a Blue Shield Gold PPO large group plan and pays what a 65-year-old would pay: $1,490 per month!
