Hey, I'm not trying to debate either. Just trying to decipher whatever it is you're trying to say. For what it's worth...the Medicare tax is a FICA tax, FICA taxes are not withheld from pensions. He may have an amount deducted from his pension that goes toward the medicare premium, but it is not a tax.
On Medicare...everyone qualifies for Medicare at age 65.
So not to confuse this any further, FICA is not Medicare Tax. They are separate, even on my pay stub and are listed separately. Was just trying to correct a post that is not always true. Not everyone qualifies, some government pensions trump that.
