Medicare is a form of welfare, just branded differently. It's a means-tested benefit funded in a pay-as-you-go manner via income tax just like any other. The means are just different amongst various programs.
Are there any actual cases of making more earned income via a regular job worse than taking that extra dollar of pay? I'm guessing a few very rare corner-cases exist, but I can't immediately think of any. I imagine they would be somewhere in the neighborhood of the EITC or AMT type things.

I didn't need to press enter. Just started typing agi limit and a whole bunch of search topics came up asking about agi limits for various tax things.
Medicaid is a form of welfare, Medicare is an entitlement. Where is Medicare means tested?
