Actually we get it. You pay a Medicare Part B premium, therefore you believe that Rush is wrong for calling Medicare an entitlement.

I am pointing out that the Medicare "premium" and attendant out-of-pocket costs are not reflective of the current market rates for insurance premiums or out-of pocket costs and the very substantial difference is paid by the taxpayer. If Medicare part B overages are not paid for with taxpayer dollars, I am willing to examine the proof.

Actually, you do not get it at all. I think Rush is wrong for calling Medicare a free program to its recipients.
