“Yes Mr. Cleckner, you paid for yours. However, Social Security (under SSI), Medicare and Medicaid (MediCal in California) have been so ‘prostituted’ and ‘bastardized’ from their intent that they no longer resemble their original purpose.
Moreover, when Liberals are threatened with cuts, they drag our soldiers, firemen and policemen and widows as the targets. Sorry, but you are just a pawn in a very ugly game.”

I’m pretty sure they’re right on track according to their original purpose. Maybe not according to how they were sold, but then again the fact that they called it “insurance” should have been a tip-off. If it really was insurance, then someone would be able to make a profit off them, right? Then why would the government have to run them, except for all the usual reasons?
