What part of it will be bankrupt in 2024 didn't you understand?

(bankrupt means it goes away)
and what part of when you said....Having the government run healthcare is a bad idea, just ask those who have it.

that has nothing to do with bankruptcy does it?...

Nope, I was taking a mild swipe at Canada's government run healthcare system.
Two different issues.
Government run healthcare is a bad option.
Letting Medicare go bankrupt is a worse option, especially after we paid for it all our working lives.
 
Thank you for proving how stupid you truly are!
Are you hanging your hat on the word "insolvency" instead of "bankrupt"?

While trust fund estimates show that Medicare faces some financial challenges, Medicare is not “going broke.” “Insolvency” means that Medicare would fall short of being able to fully pay for the services covered by Part A. Even if the Part A (Hospital Insurance) trust fund were to become insolvent in 2026, as currently projected, Medicare would still continue to be able to cover more than 90 percent of total (all Parts) costs throughout the long-range projection period of 75 years.

So if Medicare only pays 90% of the hospital bills, who do you think pays the other 10%?
Call me stupid?

OK. You are stupid! No newsflash there!

The money comes from the US Treasury. Any shortages will just be paid from regular tax dollars, and not FICA.
