Interestingly, it shows how big of a problem Medicare is, with the pay-out to pay-in ratio being much higher than SS. Both show a lean to the left, but the SS part (figure 2) is about 1.3:1 for low income earners and a touch under 1.0:1 for high income earners.
For medicare, as one would expect, the ratios are much more tilted due to the fact that the pay-in is tied to your income, but the pay-out is not.

Original Medicare (Parts A & B) is the FFS or Fee For Service and MA means Medicare Advantage (Part C).

21 percent of MA spending goes to plans that
are paid from 120 percent to greater than 150
percent of FFS costs"
