Americans did not vote for Social Security. There was lots more resistance to socialism back then than there is today.

Just like when Medicare was passed, plenty of people were against it. Just like most are against Obama care. My grandpa told me in 1965 that his white cross policy was better than Medicare, and cost less, but he had no choice.

As soon as Medicare was up and running, the Insurance company was going to eliminate the program, and with pre existing conditions, he would not be able to get anything else.

The government made sure that elderly Americans would have no free market choices, so focus your ill-will on the Democratic Congress/President not the American people who got stuck with crap that sucks.

Well I’m focusing on those that voted for those that put those people in power.
