Sure, just another socialist scam.

Dream on, as the company my retirement was through, went bankrupt !
So now the government covers it!
Funny how the owner of said company , has many more companies still running.
Guess it's who know what strings to pull.

Well, you're not wrong but you're also not accounting for the direct medicare payments that have came out of my paychecks for all of my life. Not a lot different than SS really. Both examples of the government feeling they know how to spend my paycheck better than I do.

People who rely on ACA have not contributed through forced monthly paycheck deductions. So, while I am not a fan of ANY of those programs, OR unemployment insurance which you also mentioned, at least those people taking advantage of those taxpayer funded programs have at least contributed SOMETHING towards them as opposed to those relying on ACA.

I imagine SS will be broke by the time I would be old enough to collect on it. At least, I don't plan to rely on it. It's likely I'll have paid into it all my life to never see a dime of it.

If you look at what’s paid in to SS and Medicare by the employers and people over the years it’s not much compared to what we will get in return but no politician will touch it to keep his job. It’s an underwater formula for people that’s poorly managed but nobody is in a hurry to pay more into it.

I was tired yesterday and am re-tired today.
