You pay FICA Medicare taxes to fund the Medicare program, which provides health insurance primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as for some younger people with disabilities. This tax is part of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) and is deducted from your paycheck. It ensures that you and your eligible family members have access to medical care when needed. Additionally, contributing to Medicare helps maintain the program's sustainability for future beneficiaries.
