    Question re Medicare Part A Coverage for people 65 yo and older and continuing to work. I have an HSA and am told that my wife and I can continue to contribute to the HSA if employed by USG, even if we sign up for Medicare. Everything I see on the Web indicates otherwise. Who is right: Aetna or everyone else? (My wife is over 65, and her portion is still going into our HSA: I fear this will turn into a tax liability at some future time.) If I continue to work and HSA makes sense, do I need to enroll in Medicare at age 65, or is it better to enroll later (definitely at retirement, of course)?
