Simple fix - scrape the cap!! Make everyone pay their percentage regardless of annual income.
Our national debt is up to $40.1 TRILLION. Social Security accounts for up to 26% of long-term indebtedness. 26 PERCENT! If we’re serious about tackling our nation’s debt, we have to fix Social Security. The longer we wait, the harder it gets, and the deeper we plunge into debt.

And estimates are that MA will 'overpay' by as much as $1 TRILLION over the next 10 years! Way past time for Congress to reign in these private companies AND for Congress to make it easier for Medicare beneficiaries to choose to move back to Traditional Medicare by insuring that they can do so WITHOUT medical underwriting for a supplement plan.
29 health systems dropping Medicare Advantage plans | 2026 By: Jakob Emerson Medicare Advantage is now costing nearly $540 billion a year and costs Medicare 15% or so more than traditional Medicare per beneficiary. What a massive miscalculation and debacle. lnkd.in/gDWsVG9v
