What are three items that medicare beneficiaries are responsible for paying before medicare will begin to pay for services?
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.
Medicare beneficiaries pay premiums (most people do not have to pay a premium for Medicare Part A); also, working retirees pay Medicare payroll tax.
For US Federal taxes, it would depend on who was paying the premiums for one thing. If you pay the premiums yourself and the loss is not business related, then no. If your employer pays the premiums or if the loss is business related then maybe. Based strictly on the information given in this question, the answer would be no.
Members of Congress pay FICA/Medicare. They also pay health insurance premiums at rates comparable to the private sector.
Only if Medicaid will pay the premiums.
Social security and medicare
no
On an individual level the importance of taxes aren't significant. Although it would be extremely unwise to not pay taxes the actual benefits to paying taxes are so that local, state and federal governments have a source of revenue to pay for roads, police, firemen, schools, social security, military, medicare and so forth.
Yes, but unless you qualify as the dependent of a Medicare-eligible wage earner, the premiums will be very high.
