Well, of course, because you actually receive the product (health care) for the expense. Simply place the 45+ years of Medicare payments you've made into a compound interest calculator, and you quickly realize that you paid around $20 million dollars for 15 years of retirement health care (if you're lucky). On top of that, you still have to pay monthly for Medicare in retirement if you actually want to be properly covered, and there are still going to be additional health care expenses that Medicare doesn't cover. It's just another government tax scam. Just give me my $20 million dollars at 65 and I'll take care of the rest.And to think that Medicare takes less than five cents of every dollar spent for administrative costs versus nearly 40 cents of every healthcare dollar taken by the for-profit health insurance industry.
