Is it really possible for people to be so ignorant about Medicare? Apparently so.

I have to stop reading this stuff – example below.

I am becoming addicted and the level of ignorance and stupidity is driving me nuts.

Look at the screen shot below that 1400 people ❤️.

What happened to all the money taken from your check? It was used to pay claims for hospital care you idiot.‼️

I paid $98,000 in Medicare taxes from 1965 until I retired in 2010. My employer paid the same. Since I retired in 2010 Medicare has paid over $300,000 in hospital charges on our behalf. That’s where the money goes.

In addition, Medicare Part B has paid over $100,000 thousand in claims for physician and other outpatient services. The standard premium for Part B covers only 25% of the actual cost, the balance comes from general federal revenue.

That’s where the money goes, that’s why it’s insurance.

The logic, explain the logic 😱

From the 2025 Medicare Trustees Report and related analyses: In 2024, total Medicare expenditures exceeded $1,122 billion, with Part A around $422 billion (or roughly 1.5% of GDP in projections around that time).

Part B has been the faster-growing component, projected at about 1.9% of GDP in 2025, reflecting higher spending on physician services, outpatient care, and Part B-covered drugs.
