No Kenneth the medicare premiums are far from cheap. There is no limit on the income level from which they are deducted. You already have a confiscatory tax on the wealthy or high earners with Medicare today.

Kenneth,

You sound like a blatant socialist hack who has always lived on the government in one form or the other.

Raise Medicare premiums? What about the much larger program that is given to those who never paid a damn dime into our system or into Social Security? E.g., MEDICAID! What you going to do about that?

Medicaid Quick Facts:

Medicaid goes to persons of all ages who meet low income guidelines. It provides a broader range of services than Medicare.


One should add to that: "Persons of all citizenship-persuasion." LOL!

It's more of a supply problem, Kenny.....You guys don't seem to get the fact that doctors do not want to work for the government....the pay is too low, plus too much non productive time dealing with pin headed paper shufflers.

The mediocre will be the norm if your guys get their way.
