More free stuff for EVERYBODY.
We can all party until the fake money blows up.
“More free stuff for EVERYBODY.”
Not necessarily true. I paid close to $50,000 in Medicare expenses (widowed so late wife paid additional $30,000) over the last 50 years. Add $180,000 in Social Security that should have been collecting interest.
Imagine how much my Social Security would be worth now if it could have collected 5-6% interest all these years.
But the point is... I doubt I will live long enough to collect a fraction of the money I put in even without it collecting interest. My late wife got zero benefit from these taxes.
It’s not free. Not only do you pay your entire working live with Medicare taxes, but you pay a monthly premium and a deductible and because it’s so crappy, you need a secondary. So no it is far from free.
Medicare costs me about $150 a Month (which comes out of my SS Check), plus $135 for my Medicare Supplement coverage which has a $205 Medicare Deductible, plus $25 for my Plan D Drug coverage which has a $420 Deductible and Co Pays and don’t forget the Doctor Visit Co Pays.
Same estimated costs for my Wife.
That “free” Medicare costs us around $800 a Month when it’s all said and done.
