If you are a W-2 employee your W-2 will always show the amounts withheld from your paychecks for Social Security and Medicare.     If you are 65 or older, (or in some special circumstances) you will have Medicare for your health insurance.    If you have Medicare, that means you also have a Medicare card and use Medicare to pay for your health care.    Seeing Medicare on your W-2 does not mean you "have" Medicare.   Enter your W-2 exactly as it appears.   You do not enter anything about having Medicare anywhere else on your tax return.
