There's no cap on Medicare contributions, only Social Security.

Also, why not increase taxes on tobacco, alcohol, guns and ammo.

No one who hangs out here is completely useless. For an example of a "working" zombie, I can suggest Reboots: Undead Can Dance by Mercedes Lackey and Cody Martin where a zombie is a partner at a private investigation agency.

Hey! I don't need Insulin, and likely won't. This capping insulin costs for seniors at $35 a month, is making me pay for their Insulin! Imma go to the SCOTUS with this!

Medicare is dollar for dollar the best insurance I’ve ever had, and I’ve had them all. I wish I had been on it when I had my transplant. I would have saved a metric fuck ton on meds alone.

...and maybe tax Elon Musk every time he tweets something stupid.

Or tax the Republicans every time they lie about Medicare.
