Well, as I just told Lane3, you don't have to take Medicare Part B. This year, it costs $90 a month. Go for a private plan at 90 a month. Part A you've been paying for all your working life and it will cost you nothing when you're 65 and eligible to get coverage.

"I'll tell you what. Even though I've paid SS and Medicare taxes for years, make me immune to paying those taxes (and to any possible replacement tax), and I'll agree not to receive any benefits from the programs."

I'll see you and raise you. Cut my deduction in half and guarantee to never raise it and I will continue to fund those who chose not to provide for their future and decline any future eligibility.
