How is medicare not a form of social security. Are they not both wealth transfers from the present generation to the retiring generation? Are they not required to be paid into through the career lifespan of the worker? The fact that someone new to the country can by pass the entire process of paying into the system and just receive benefits is BS. If you don't agree then you've got issues.
You have got to be kidding me. Social Security and Medicare are two entirely different programs with dissimilar eligibility guidelines and benefits. Recent immigrants may be eligible for Medicare and not Social Security if they have an insufficient amount of earnings in the United States.
