All you get for all those years that you put into Medicare is hospitalization. Nothing more. If you want more, you have to continue tp pay more. I consider it a rip off. Medicaid for those that pay NOTHING is better. Medicaid for the lazy is better than Medicare that you worked hard for.
And the ironic part is that Obamacare STOLE almost a trillion bucks to subsidize Medicaid for new enrollees. Or whatever the money was used for. But, we do know it was to subsidize Obamacare, and we do know that WE worked for the money and it is being given away.

Bully for you, Mr. Holier-Than-Thou, that you don't partake of the insurance (yes, it is insurance) you paid for all those years. By the way, Medicare A has a huge deductible every time you are hospitalized, so unless you have a no-deductible supplement, you will still be paying one way or the other. Like the private insurance you describe as being spread out, so is Medicare. Some use more, some use less, or not at all. My brother and his wife both died before they could use any of it of which they had paid. She was not yet 65 and he had just turned 65. Just like your private insurance that you are so proud of, their portion is being spread to those fortunate enough to still live. People die on a daily basis without ever collecting a penny of what they paid. That's why it is INSURANCE, just as your private one is. Hopefully, you will never lose that private insurance that you have, because if you do, you will have to prove insurability to get another or get a supplement to go with your original Medicare (that is surmising that you can even get any of the Medicare you so nobly rejected).
