Z,
So yes, there are more people becoming dependent of Medicare and Social Security. But that's not because those programs make people more likely to take those; age does.
SS and Medicare creates more dependents because they ignore the impact of rising life expectancies and an aging population.

By resisting any change necessary to deal with that trend, you are essentially owning the growth in dependents. And that suits you just fine because the more dependents you create, the more votes you can lock in.
