What’s the definition of wealthy?

Whatever they want it to be. Right now, Medicare part B is means tested. The did that several years ago.

The individual rate can vary from $104.90 to $335.70 depending upon your income level. There are five different premium levels.

Thank you. You are a wealth of information and graphs ;)

“Wealthy” will be changed so that eventually we are all in that category. Just like SS was only .5% of one’s income in the beginning (so I was told - haven’t verified that number but it certainly has been increasing.

I hate to see SS and Medicare means tested since everyone is forced to pay into it. It is already socialized, with those that work the hardest subsidizing others.
