Well, I can only wish we lived in a political world in which ss and medicare support could be provided up to reasonable levels of income, then taxed beyond those income levels or even withheld. And persist. But we don't and I can't see any future in which that would be the case. To the best of my knowledge extensive welfare state support items depend on widespread popular political support which, in turn, depends on universal availability.
