My parents, in their 80’s, have raked in many, many times what they put into Medicare. Now early Baby Boomers are doing the same.

I've seen this up close and personal with my parents and in-laws. I don't begrudge them, it's the system. But longevity has also added extra costs. My FIL immigrated here (legally) worked from the age of 50-65, while paying into SS and Medicare, retired at 65 and lived to be 93, all the while collecting SS and using Medicare (he was a pretty healthy guy, so his Medicare usage was minimal until the end.) The outpay compared to the inpay must have been huge. The system was/is broken.

No, I don’t begrudge anyone who follows the rules and hits the jackpot through the system—and that’s a lot of people of the older generations right now.

But you’re right, the system is broken.
