Actually the Medicare tax isn't part of SS, its a separate payroll tax. "You said the young newly insured would pay more than they otherwise have to for their insurance in order to subsidize the elderly on Medicare." I said nothing of the sort... Yes you did. You wrote: ".... if you bring younger people into the system who don't require much care and they pay the same premium, the excess dollars contributed by young people will help pay for the older care...." Message 25879814 "Pay the same premium" and "excess dollars" means that you envision young newly insured people contributing more than their own insurance will cost based on their age. And the excess will "help pay for the older care". Did you forget your own position already? Those blackouts are a problem, huh?
