Default Social Security and Medicare are not ENTITLEMENTS.

I know I worked very hard and paid into both all my life. I earned both. Unfortunately for me, I need both. My job did not have a pension plan and neither did my husbands. My IRA took a couple of big hits over the years so I don’t get much help from that. I never thought that at my age I’d still be working but I have to if I want to continue to live here where I feel safe.
So please don’t call them entitlements.
