Even after accounting for all those who've left the program — about 700,000 drop out each year, mainly because they hit retirement age or died — that's up 53% from a decade ago.
I'm guessing most don't leave the program due to death. Most just move from one welfare program (SSI) to another (Social Security, Medicare).
