That's nothing to do with the current $200B doc fix they are working on now, which works out to be $4000 per current Medicare recipient.

The money for Medicare recipients never ends.

For Part D only.

Sure doesn't sound free.

However 65 million non-disabled slackers and their irresponsibly-borne kids get free Medicaid/CHIP coverage. Enjoy paying the bill for that.

Boy you sure do like to make it sound like you paid a lot. $30. dollars. $30 lousy dollars a month. For a program that costs taxpayers $1.17 Trillion.

And Medicare Part B is funded 75% by government.

You cannot even admit how much you are taking.

Yes. For Part D Only. $1.17 Trillion. For Part D Only.

And 75% of Part B

And 100% of Part A

And roughly 25% of Medicaid.

$30 a month? Hardly. What about the decades worth of uncapped Medicare taxes?

I think that is understated.

And don't forget the $200B they are working on now that is all Medicare. Suck, suck, suck, the money goes to Medicare like a vacuum.

Do you mean the yearly contributions? You mean the 1.45% of your annual salary? That? That is nothing compared to the costs.

But nice move to use the "uncapped" phrase, like it skyrockets. Uncapped!

A $30,000 a year salary is only $435. for an entire year. Do you have any idea how much one heart bypass costs?

Truth hurts, but I posted the links. I know I'm not telling you anything you didn't know already.
