Addition/Clarification:Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) is paid through payroll taxes. In order to be entitled for part A you must work a total of 40 quarters of the year (10 years, but doesn't have to be continuous) to qualify. If you don't work the required time then a premium will be required to obtain the benefit based on how many quarters you paid into the system.
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) is paid through a premium deducted from the SSA check. The premium is higher if the recipient has a substantial income in retirement. (info on the tiered premiums are available on Medicare.gov)
Medicare Part D (Drug Coverage) is paid through premiums paid to the part D provider (these can also be deducted from the SSA check, but an authorization is required)
Medicare B & D also get subsidized by the Federal Govt.
