Everyone who pays any type of federal tax pays for medicare- Therefore, anyone who pays no federal taxes, does not pay for medicare. CORRECTION: Medicare is funded by a payroll tax, paid by employers and employees, and by insurance premiums. It is not funded by income taxes or other sources. Therefore, persons who are not yet Medicare eligible or who are unemployed and those few who are employed but do not pay Medicare payroll taxes do not pay for Medicare.
Durable Medical Equipment: Items such as oxygen equipment and supplies, wheelchairs, walkers, and hospital beds ordered by your doctor for use in the home. Some items must first be rented. You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and the Part B deductible applies. You must get your covered equipment or supplies from a supplier enrolled in Medicare.
