So I'm not a retiree who paid into the system for fifty years, I'm just a bum with my hand out?

I don't think so, bud.

AIDS - now a disease more like the flu - gives almost automatic access to permanent social security disability payments . Think about it. A senior who worked their whole life might collect for 15 years.

A gay man (with AIDS) might collect Social Security for 50 or 60 years.

Same with drug addicts, alcoholics, wife beaters, etc.
