I support the immediate abolishment of Medicare. If my refusal to pay into the system instead of tending to myself and those I am responsible for then hey, I am as evil a strawman as you want to make me.

Government healthcare has failed. Embrace it. Otherwise, get used to rationing because that’s what’s coming. CUZ THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOVERNMENTS GET INVOLVED WITH HEALTHCARE

What makes you think that any social conservatives on FR or elsewhere want the gov involved in health care? I certianly don’t. The entire system of governemnt involved in all kinds of stuff needs to be scrapped and brought back to strict Consitutional principles.

If you can figure out a way for the government to REPAY the money that people have paid into programs like Social Security and Medicare, I'm all for it. But I don't see that happening.

Otherwise if you simply abolish them, we are in a position of taking money that people paid into these programs and using that money to expand the government somewhere else.

That being said, the REASON that Social Security and Medicare are on the verge of bankruptcy is because an ENTIRE GENERATION of taxpayers who would fund it was murdered. Without Roe v. Wade, Social Security and Medicare would be solvent.
