I have friends of both political parties. None of them oppose taking money from SS or Medicare. And most take advantage of every nickle they can get from the system.
I'd like to see what life in the U.S.was like before Medicare and S.S. I guess you just got old and lived with relatives. If you got sick you bartered to pay the doctor bill. Had the wife make a nice casserole and paid him $5 when the $25 pension check arrived from Warner and Swazey.
