Obamacare is one thing, but Medicare was around a long time before anyone knew what an “Obama” was ... :-) ...
I believe I read right here on FR that Medicare was sold to the Public as projected never to cost over $20,000,000,000 a Year adjusted for Inflation.
I think that number lasted a few years at best.
My Best Friend from Childhood just passed away at 61. He never saw a Dime of the Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars he paid into Medicare and SS over his working Lifetime.
Things like that happen when Pyramid Schemes are Government Policy.
