Um, never said it was free. Dont know where you got that.
What do you imagine your premiums would be if Medicare didnt exist? Medical costs are lower in Medicare, at the same age for same coverage, than outside of Medicare. Thats why the program exists. The average Medicare recipient will recieve reduced costs exceeding the amount of money they paid in, plus interest.
