So, we're taking our tax dollars and covering the(most expensive) people that can't pay for themselves while the rest of us fight about what a single payer system would look like.
It does occur to you that many (if not most) on Medicare contributed tax dollars for their entire working lives while being employed on the basis that when they reached retirement age there would be a health insurance system in place for them that they still have to pay premiums for to cover them? Or are you under the impression you are the only person ever to have had to pay taxes? And btw ask people on Medicare about the donut hole lest you think it’s all free for them.

Come on, don't you know that Medicare people are just lazy bums? Elderly people should just be fending for themselves, if they want healthcare they can continue to work!
