The money transfer from your salary to fund Medicare is not broken out separately.
Wrong. Look on the back of your paycheck, you should see both SSDI and MDCR. SSDI taxes combined employer/employee are 12.4% of gross up to the SS limit of $102000. MDCR combined employer/employee is 2.9% of gross up to the SS limit. So the amounts are deducted separately.
However all of this goes into the general fund and can be used to build bridges to nowhere. buy a welfare queen a Cadillac, or bomb goatherders in places that 99% of Americans can’t find on a map.
