The fate of SS and Medicare is not hypothetical.
Their existence in 2030 and beyond and in what form is impossible to determine.
Why is the VA benefit answer interesting?
“Their existence in 2030 and beyond and in what form is impossible to determine.”
That is my point. And my question, which you failed to answer, is will you participate in these programs when you become eligible...assuming they are still around.
The VA question was only interesting because your answer was “No”. No further explanation...like SS or Medicare.
