And medicare beneficiaries. A LOT. Why do you think it's a giveaway? If I were working, I'd be furious at that. We pay a high premium and an extra amount on top of that to support freeloaders and others who haven't bothered to save and are now wards of the state. It's not just working people who pay.
I had over 20K of unreimbursed medical expenses last year. I hardly see it as a windfall and I wish younger people understood it better.
