And I personally think that Medicare premiums should be indexed to the level of your SS payment. I am not sure how that would work, but it would at least be proportionate to what you receive in SS benefits.

That's ridiculous! I completely disagree. You should not have to pay more for Medicare just because your SSDI benefit pays you more. The kind of money you made when you worked should have nothing to do with what you should pay for the same benefit as people who made less when they worked.
