Medicare is already a pre-paid tax, and DUMBO has already gutted it and Tricare Life for Ret. Military over 65.

They are NOT ENTITLEMENTS like welfare, food stamps, housing or any of the other FREEBIES the government hands out. THEY WERE either PRE-PAID or EARNED.

Welfare needs to be turned into WORKFARE and only to US Citizens and be a set time limit. NO extra for more kids. Food Stamps limited to only nutritional foods. NO JUNK FOOD. NO CASH BACK.

If it's pre-paid or earned, how can they file a claim against your estate for benefits received?

Maybe we should stop paying medicare to people who just happened to be in the U.S. when they turned 65 without having paid a penny into the Medicare fund.
