Well people paid into Medicare and SS their entire lives, don't you think they paid for some kind of benefits rather than being transferred to Obamacare, their payments stolen and they have to BUY insurance even though they have paid in their whole working lives to Medicare or be fined? The Govt has to live up to the SS and Medicare promises but limit the quality of care unfortunately to what people actually paid in. Anything above and beyond has to be paid for out of pocket. Look dying isn't all that bad I was dead for billions of years and I have no complaints about it. Living in pain is a different story. That's my greatest fear, not dying.

>> In lieu of Medicare and SS what would be your choices or options.....I don't get the impression you're independently wealthy....

We would all be wealthy if we had paid our SS & Medicare taxes into a privately invested fund instead of a government money pit.
