    The Fund That Never Runs Out 9-19-26
    19 Sep 2026

    This summer's Social Security and Medicare trustees report sounds the alarm on two trust funds, then calls Medicare Parts B and D “adequately financed into the indefinite future.” This week the Volatile Vet explains why that fund can never run out: its funding is reset every year, and the bill lands on retirees as rising premiums and IRMA surcharges taken straight out of Social Security checks.
