Why I Say They Lie

Post by Schneibster » Sat Dec 03, 2011 8:57 pm

Senate Republican leaders would go after “millionaires and billionaires,” not by raising their taxes but by making them ineligible for unemployment compensation and food stamps and increasing their Medicare premiums. Democrats said that this part of the Republican proposal was not serious, pointing out that high earners were already ineligible to receive food stamps.
Medicare is means tested. Search for MAGI (Modified Adjusted Gross Income) on ssa.gov (the US Social Security Administration government site).

Just for openers.

Sources: the quote, SSA publication on Medicare premiums. You will want page 8 in the second where the exact form of means testing is specified.
