I thought I already paid.

You paid for Part A and for the option to buy Part B. Part B isn't funded from the payroll tax. It is funded partly by premiums and partly by the general fund.

Here's a bit of history for you. The original monthly premium on Part B was three bucks. Premiums were very reasonable until about ten years ago.
