Is Medicare paid for by FICA?

No, it is paid through social security. Medicare has a deductible and the social security administration takes part of the monthly payment to pay for the deductible. In my case I have my entire social security taken and still don't meet the deductible so I have to pay several hundred more to them to make up the difference.
