The Medicare and the SS deals were structured so that they would NOT be means tested. Obviously, the deal proved to be not sustainable - for the most part because of the increase in life expectancy... which, in part, came about because of healthier life styles and also because of advances in health care.

The numbers do not add up, and the deal will be renegotiated - like it or not. The poor will retain their benefits, and the rich won't care. Once again, middle class people who save will get screwed.
