Is it legal to take out FICA, as well as Medicare and Social Security?

My current employer takes FICA as well as Medicare and Social Security out of each paycheck. I just want to know if this is legal. My understanding of FICA is that it IS Medicare and Social Security. Am I misinformed?
Additional information
So does that mean that my employer cannot take out both FICA and Social Security?

No. You are right, FICA is Social Security. Medicare is something else.
