    Medicare Taxes
    I would like to find out the benefits of medicare taxes. I am in H-1 visa. There is a considerable amount of money that gets deducted every month from my paycheck in name of "Social Security and Medicare Taxes". I would like to know the benefits that I am eligible under this tax deduction. Please advise!

    Thanks

    You will probably get NO BENEFIT AT ALL, unless you retire in the United States at age 62 or later.
