can you believe what is said when the statement includes the words 'trust fund'? isn't it a fact that all revenues go to the general fund?

There is a medicare trust fund - check out medicare.gov, Wikipedia, etc.

The report in question has been heavily reported in the general news lately:

CNN Money
"Medicare gets lifeline from health care reform"

so then i guess just social security goes to the general fund? i hear about these funds, but then other pols say it all goes in one pot, which is why i asked.
