I bet you JohnnyPrepH has a gold plated plan courtesy of the US taxpayer.
He wife would also have a superior plan from the teachers federation. Is
that double dipping?

Courtesy has nothing to do with it. There is a contract. Let's hope the
government lives up to its obligations under it. She might be eligible
to participate in her union plan after retirement. How would that be
double dipping?
Are you trying to appear dumber than dirt, or does it occur naturally.

Those on Medicare paid in a lot of money during their working years. If
they had put money into an tax free plan, they could afford most any
insurance plan on the market. That approx 3% of every earned income dollar
adds up to a lot of dollars.

When you righties come up with some naive bull**** as "the answer" to a
serious social problem, a "snerk" is more than you deserve.

According to my SS statement my employer and I paid a tad over $12,000
each between 1966 and 1996. (~$24,000 total).
SS was a bit over $100,000 total.
I suppose I could put the yearly totals in a spreadsheet and see what
a reasonable rate of return would produce but I don't really care that
much.
The SS should be the same for anyone who paid the max over that period
so it is probably something that has already been done.
If you live very long SS and Medicare are great deals, that is why
they are going broke. The plan was based on a life expectancy of about
66-67 for 90% of the people eligible.



Uncap SS taxes and the problem goes away.

That adds a 14% tax increase to everyone making more than $100,000 a
year. Try to get that through congress when added to the medical care
tax increase and whatever is necessary to get a grip on this deficit.



I haven't messed with the math, but I wouldn't increase the employer
"co-pay" and I would slap the additional tax on those over the $250,000
mark.

Do you have a problem with servicemen/women receiving medical care on the US
taxpayer's dime? If you don't think the US military protects your freedom as
well, think again simpleton.
