I'll retire soon from The Fed Gov too, and I've asked the same question numerous times- seeking many answers to be sure I make the right decision. The consensuses is anyone lucky enough to be able to bring private insurance into retirement- with their employer still paying a large chunk, should hang onto it with both hands. Medicare Part A is free. Part B is about $180 per month and doesn't cover drugs or much else. If you want to get the same coverage offered by your federal insurance (BC/BS?) you have to get a private plan that groups together all of the other Medicare Parts to include drugs, etc. That per-month premium equals or exceeds your share of what you'll pay for your Federal insurance... and your federal insurance, if you have a good plan is 100 times better than anything offered by Medicare. Others are more knowledgeable than I am but I think that I've given you the important general facts.
