    Medicaid is what you get if you didn't pay enough for Medicare, as I understand it.

    I'm sure it will all be gone by the time I've paid for it and am ready to retire.
    Rob,

    Yes. Medicare and Medicaid are funded from income taxes, while Social Security is based on a payroll tax. Every citizen is eligible for Medicare once they turn 65. Medicaid is health insurance for those whose income falls under a certain line and is available to all who meet its eligibility requirements, regardless of age. Hopefully, there should be no problem with funding Medicare in the future, as Medicare costs have been steady or declining in recent years and it is a very popular program with those who are enrolled.

    Yes, I'm very glad. She may get intimidated by computers, but she's mean with a phone.
