During your working life, you pay Medicare tax out of your paycheck. That tax pays for your Part A Medicare, which is the hospitalization portion of Medicare. Then when you enroll in Medicare, you can purchase Medicare Part B which is the medical/doctor's office portion of Medicare. When you purchase Part B, it is automatically deducted from your Social Security check each month. This amount will normally be $96.40(for 2009) unless you make more than $85,000.00 per year, then you will pay more for the monthly premium.
