Retirement Freedom Act

This bill would let people who qualify for Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) choose to opt out of that coverage, using a process set by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. People who opt out could later opt back into Part A without a penalty. They would not have to give up Social Security (title II) benefits in order to opt out. They also would not have to pay back any Part A payments made for care they received before opting out.
