How's that likely to happen, when all people will see is taxes and no benefits?

Most people aren't on Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. Most people aren't on welfare or WIC. Still: try getting rid of any of those programs.

I have a friend whose child went onto Medicaid & Social Security disability (I think those are the right ones - whichever ones are for disabled adults) the day she turned 18. The girl is disabled, no doubt. But my friend talks endlessly about how she hates the idea of "government health care" and doesn't see the irony.

Give it a year or two, and no one else will, either.

It is like a badge of courage in these parts to “get your disability” and be dependent on the govt forever - people act as if they’d won a Purple Heart. Then they gang up and live in households that combine welfare checks, creating a monthly income that would probably easily eclipse mine...but then I work for a living. They are laughing at me all day long, or whenever they roll out of bed.
