If subsidies go away maybe we can pay our premiums out of our SS.

At 65 you go on Medicare, like it or not. Then pay the premiums out of your SS, automatically.

If you are not on SS you have to pay the Medicare premiums on your own. But then you are not protected by the "hold harmless" that will keep your net SS benefit from going down. Which happened a time or two in recent years.
