If I could withdraw $200,000 a year from my IRA every year I wouldn't be worrying about taxes or paying more for Medicare.

The example of a $200K withdrawal from an IRA is NOT every year but a one time event to provide for a better downpayment on a house.
Otherwise I would agree with you if someone could afford to withdraw $200K every year..thats would be one heck of an IRA balance...no need to worry about taxes.
