What the hell do they think Medicare is??? People put thousands and thousands of dollars into Medicare....

and STILL HAVE TO BUY INSURANCE WHEN THEY RETIRE.

IN FACT, THE GOV IS SO KIND, THEY TAKE IT RIGHT OUT OF YOUR SS CHECK.

Actually, the government spends roughly $830.00 PER MONTH, on average, for every Medicare beneficiary.

The fact is, the $96.00 “premium” for Medicare does not even come close to paying for Medicare services.

The fact is, the taxes on income, during your working years, do not even come close to paying for Medicare benefits, for existing Medicare beneficiaries.
