What if the eligibility age for Medicare was lowered every year?

I can see this working.

And the income threshold at which you stop paying into it gets raised a few thou every year.

Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos pay Medicare tax on just the first $200k of their wages... if they get "wages" at all.

I thought there was no limit on the Medicare tax, as opposed to the ss tax for which there is a limit

Nope. Don’t change anything else. Just change eligibility and let the market adjust. Monitor what happens and do it agin in 2023.

You’re right. I confused it with SS. Above $200k, one pays a small additional amount.
