My mom died at 60, my dad at 52.
Always paid, never used a bit of it.
Wonder how the early (pre 62 years old) death of those who have contributed to both SSAN and Medicare for years is figured? Many people spend most of their lives contributing and never collect. I never see this fact factored in any projected figures. It seems the assumption is everyone will live to collect. Then there are some who collect for only one or two years and then (conveniently for the Gov.) drop dead.
