COBRA insurance is a guarantee that your health insurance is portable when you leave the job. It is now private insurance where you are paying for it. The cost is probably higher than the employer provided insurance so you would want to look at the 2 carefully and determine which would be most economical. It does not make sense to pay for two policies. If your new job pays for (some of) the insurance dump your COBRA.

In general, yes. Medicare can be secondary insurance for a person otherwise entitled to it who continues to work beyond the age of 65 and participates in a health insurance plan offered by or sponsored by the employer. Additionally Medicare can be a secondary payer for disabled people who have their own coverage through their own employer's large group health plan (usually 100 or more employees), or large group health coverage that they have through a family member.


Why can't i stay on my employers health insurance when i turn 65?

It depends where you live. Some employers do not provide insurance. In some countries if you are working after you are 65 or your spouse is working, you will be entitled for health insurance from employer. You will be eligible for Medicare even if you continue to work after you turn 65. It is important that you decide whether or not to enroll for medicare. You may not need all of Medicare benefits if you are still covered under your employer's plan. You can delay certain parts of Medicare, and get them later on when you retire, or if you lose your employer's insurance. You should make these decisions at least 3 months before your 65th birthday.
