There isn't a person alive who has paid more than about $125,000 into Medicare, even if they started work the year it began and maxed out their income every year.

If I were President, I would buy your Medicare card back for $125K in an eyeblink, but.....

How far do you think that much money would take you if you had to pay for a bypass or a hip replacement at the hospital's full charges??

Silly person, I would use the money to buy real Health Insurance.
