Under PDJT, the SS fund is not being robbed! All previous admins stole the money paid in and used it like a slush fund.
Seniors already pay for Part B each month. Most people don’t understand that seniors already pay for secondary insurance. It’s taken out of their SS check.
The only thing Medicare pays for is 80% of the hospital stay bill. Doctors etc. are extra. Tests are extra, and there is still a co-pay. Don’t quote me on this, but I think the secondary is $134 per month. The rate keeps going up.
Seniors got a pay raise, but the increase in the secondary took that raise away.
In addition, the another backup needed, like AARP, costs even more. It isn’t a free ride by any means. It is helpful, but some can’t pay that 20% on extended stay, nor the co-pays associated with surgery and treatment.
I have not been billed the 20% and I have been hospitalized twice.

You only understand a small piece of the reality. Medicare beneficiaries pay a small portion of the cost of coverage. I think what they are actually charged is in the neighborhood of 25%.
IOW - they get a huge gov’t subsidy.
