Perhaps you will say that my health insurance is cheap compared to its obligations. Then let's have that debate publicly instead of the discussion of how I am a public leach sponging off of everybody else's hard work and sweat.

Actually, on average, medicare recipients will receive a hugely greater amount of benefits compared to the Medicare taxes they've paid and the $1200 annual premium. Honestly considered, you have to see that Medicare is really just an old-age welfare benefit - a transfer payment.

Then please campaign to cancel the program... I don't mind. Just have them stop charging me when they stop the benefits.

Really, anyone who has a serious illness/surgery/hospitalization gets back more benefits than they pay into ANY insurance plan
