The average monthly Social Security benefit is about $1,487 and 44% of Medicare recipients reported spending between $160 and $495 a month on health care.
So does that mean S.S. will go broke sooner & Medicare will continue. You do know S.S. is going to dry up before some get it & are paying into it. Then Medicare doesn’t get paid into & it’ll continue!
