What Would Happen If Medicare Ended? 
The chance of Medicare ending are almost nil . The federal government has promised seniors that Medicare -LRB- and Social Security -RRB- will be around forever ... even if they have to bankrupt the country to pay for it . When you consider that Medicare has paid out more in benefits than the trust fund receives in tax revenues every year since 2008 , the system is obviously hurting . You should expect to shoulder more of the cost of your health care every year going forward
