The social security act of 1965 under LBJ created Medicare. Medicare was financed by payroll taxes.
Medicare is primarily funded through a combination of payroll taxes, premiums, and general revenue. It was first enacted in 1965 as a part of the Social Security Act, and the financing structure has evolved over time. Currently, the majority of funding comes from payroll taxes paid by employees and employers, along with premiums paid by enrollees and funding from the federal government's general revenue.

That depends on your definition of "socialist." Social Security and Medicare are financed by participants and their employers, so in that sense are probably not socialist. Medicaid, which is financed by public funds (taxes and borrowed money), could probably be considered socialist. However, in that sense, fire protection and law enforcement could also be considered socialist.
Medicare is funded primarily through payroll taxes, with contributions from both employees and employers. Part A of Medicare, which covers hospital insurance, is financed through the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund. Part B, which covers medical insurance, and Part D, which covers prescription drugs, are primarily funded through general revenues and beneficiary premiums.
Higher Medicare spending is funded through a combination of sources. The majority of the funding comes from general tax revenues, including income taxes and payroll taxes. Medicare beneficiaries also contribute through premiums and cost-sharing requirements. Additionally, Medicare is partially funded through the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund and the Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund.
