Social Security is a communist program too that needs to be abolishedThing is, most people had medical insurance through the workplace. Retirement age then was 75. At that point you drew your Social Security INSURANCE, that you paid into the entire time of your employment. No gift, no entitlement. It was the worker's own money, paid into his retirement fund. Then within a few short years, the worker died. And his insurance was usurped by the government.
Medicare was reserved for the infirmed. Now it is a lifestyle for those who cannot or choose not to work at all. And Social Security has been robbed til nothing is left.
Typical baby boomer jackass. Medicare and Social Security were created so asswipes like you would not have to support and cover the medical bills of your aging parents. And like the typical ungrateful, self-absorbed clueless idiot baby boomer, you have no idea just how great that gift was. Before Social Security the group with the highest percentage of people living in poverty were the aged. More than half, MORE THAN HALF, depended on family or charity for their support.
