I retired first 7.7.2022 and thought Im free but when my rent went up, car insurance, etc I had to take a part time job. Im on social security but that is not enough. I have to quit my part time job I have now 7.6.2024 becuase of health reasons. I am so scared because next year I have to take, I think, Medicare out which is around $180 a month now, who knows then. I will be homeless if I have to pay this. I do not know what to do. I am a army veteran who gets army VA insurance, but I do not know if I still have to take out medicare, etc. I am so confused. I do want to go into a assisted living here in IL next year or so, but I do not know if I need Medicare, etc to do so . I have no savings, no car, etc. I am single, no children, never married. Thank you.
