Young feller( mid 20s) across the street from me were conversing about health care.

He wanted to know why I got Medicare and he couldn't. I told him I had paid into the system 45 years before I could get benefits. He said "so what". This is the problem that I see coming.

Now if they the government would reimburse all of us that had paid into the system without drawing entitlements and start all over, I would consider it as a fair shake for us suckers that played and payed by the rules.

I would further venture to say that a large portion of ss and medicare is drawn via lawsuit recipients rather than the need. Too many people get benefits that they never paid for.
