Is it true that Medicare is free for all beneficiaries?
No. Reference and primary sources state that Medicare beneficiaries must pay part of their health care costs, including a Part B deductible and 20% coinsurance, so coverage is not free. One source notes only annual wellness visits are free of charge.
