Medicare 是专款专用，和general fund没有关系

目前为止， Medicare fund 还有结余的。也许几年后， 这个结余会用完， 到时再加。

In 2023, HI income exceeded spending by $12.2 billion. Surpluses should continue through 2029, followed by deficits until the fund runs out entirely in 2036, according to the report.

At that point, the government won’t be able to pay full benefits for inpatient hospital visits, nursing home stays and home healthcare.
