This is the problem with America today. People are relying too much on the government to support them. Look at California.
Now just image how government health care will turn out, which some people call free health care or universal, because then it doesn't sound like what it is government health care. SS, which over the years people became dependant on as you can see and do not plan their own lives, is a big government program and it failed!!! Now what happens when the government health care fails??? You're going to have a whole country depending on it and the whole health care industry depending on the government. It belongs in the private sector, or it will fail. People from all over the world come to America for surgeries because our health care is in the hands of the people, not a corrupt government.
Government should be there for people who fall on hard times, not there to support everything and everyone who have the ability to support themselves, but would rather have a free hand out. This socialist way of thinking is disgusting, wimpy, uneducated, and a group of followers who are easily scared by words. Stop looking at the government for your answers, they are not it, WE ARE!!!
I think you absolutely should take Social Security when it's your turn. You are paying into it. A part of your paycheck (or taxes) goes towards Social Security, a pretty fair part actually. That money is yours. YOURS. People need to realize this... that is our money getting squandered.

I have absolutely no problem helping out the sick, people that need help, the elderly... whoever it may be. What I am growing less tolerant of day by day is politicians raping funds that are not theirs simply because "they can."
