"2. Drain any remaining savings the retiree has and then place them on Welfare." We do that today. With Medicare.

HUH?
Medicare is PAID FOR by S.S. recipients. And it has nothing to do with Welfare. It also pays back almost nothing, and does NOT include prescription coverage.
I think you mean Medicaid, which is a Welfare program. And Medicaid is just what retirees DO NOT WANT.
They want to continue their self-sufficient way of life which they've worked for all their lives. And THAT, my friend, costs the tax payers a lot less.
