In 2019, per capita personal income in KY was 44K; in NJ, 70K. So NJ paid much more into the program than it got back, KY much less. Fulminate all you like, but the fact is that high income states, especially in the tristate area, are aiding the heartland big time 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Medicare spending is pretty flat across states — about the same in KY and, say, NJ. But the program is paid for by a payroll tax (part A) and income taxes (the rest), so amount paid in is strongly dependent on income per capita 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
