In the example given at 4 minutes, you start losing money when you turn 78 years old. Be aware that that statement is not adjusted for anything like price increases or inflation.
I am 65 and still working. I am still covered under my employer group plan. I am enrolled in part A. Will I incure a penalty for not signing up for part B or D?
If the employer has 20+ employees, and you maintain their insurance the whole time you don’t have Part B or Part D, then you shouldn’t owe a late penalty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc52QedOIMY
I am really disappointed that you do not have an agent in NY. After you sold me on using you for my plan, I call and I am told you do not have an agent, not happy you should have someway to indicate that!

My mother is 72 and still working. She has insurance through her job but she collects social security. She plans on fully retiring this year and has never dealt with medicare. Will this affect her social security check and benefits when she applies? Will she be penalized? She also has moderate to severe renal failure.
