News Flash!!! Unlike those on Medicaid, those on Medicare pay into it. First when they are still working. Second once they are retired and receive Social Security they still pay into it, because the monthly amount we receive for Social Security gets reduced and the premium for Medicare goes up. We have not gotten a raise in our social security since President Bush 43 left. As a matter of fact we got a reduction once and the premium has been risen since that arrogant pos former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave had been in office.
You might not be aware of it, but once you are on Social Security, usually by age 65 you will be put automatically on medicare, whether you like it or not.
