Okay, change “Medicare A&B” to just “Medicare.” That’s the away it is referred to in the benefit amount paperwork I got from Social Security.

Medicare Part A is free if you contributed enough quarters to qualify for it and your spouse is eligible even if she didn't. Parts B, C, and D are optional.
Medicare Part A is funded thru part of the payroll tax (the HI trust fund.) Medicare Parts B and D are funded thru premiums from the retirees (25%) and from the General Fund (75%).
