Ok. I guess my understanding of Medicare is suspect. Im a younger foriegn born resident that just sees medicare taxes on my paychecks. With a little help from google I have answered my questions. Thanks Bob. 🙂

Bob, I have two questions here.
For expats who decide to continue to pay into Medicare, how is the amount of the Medicare contribution determined?
As wage earners in the US it’s a % of earned income. I imagine that many expats living abroad live on unearned income, so, if that is the case, and they file US returns, there (currently), would be no Medicare tax.
Also, I assume that once someone retires in the US, and in most cases have no earned income, they no longer pay the Medicare tax, so are expats required to pay for life if they wish to remain eligible for Medicare?
Thanks for the benefit of your expertise.

Hi Suzan, you’ll like HBOs Newsroom if you haven’t already picked up on that one. BTW, are you watching those HBO shows on the Internet, iTunes or your direct tv?
