@davejorgenson: How is Medicare funded? Medicare is a federal health insurance program that primarily serves Americans ages 65 and older. Its funding comes from several sources, including payroll taxes, general revenue, and Medicare premiums. This video is part of my partnership with Free the Facts, a nonpartisan, non-profit organization that empowers young Americans to learn and lead.
This is why we need to directly invest in healthcare not just insurance plans. Medicare has such a high risk pool so insurance companies can have low risk people paying into profits without having as many payouts, and Medicare gets all the most expensive patients. If we put half the amount we pay for private insurance to actually healthcare costs we’d be so much better off…

i feel like half the work local news international does is explaining social services cause so many of us who don't need them (YET) are locked out of knowing due to the byzantine structure for approval.

So we pay into Medicare for our whole working career, and then have to pay even more each month to actually use it.
Thanks, I hate it.

One of my coworkers is on Medicare and pays almost double what I pay for the health insurance through our company. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
