They just dont want younger folk to have it.

Old people being old people.

In the case of SS, most of them paid into it most of their lives and -- in all honesty -- had they been allowed to invest that money, may have even made more in the long run. Young people haven't done that work. More importantly, SS is going to eventually implode.

As for Medicare, it's kinda garbage. Without UHC, you have doctors who refuse to take Medicare patients -- because they get paid more on non-Medicare patients -- which ensures a lower-standard of care, not to mention that Medicare patients themselves don't get everything you would on a normal insurance plan. Personally, if I can avoid it, I don't plan on ever winding up on Medicare. Given that I also don't plan on ever retiring (also if I can manage it) -- doubly so after enduring this fucking shutdown -- I should generally have a plan available through an employer. In general, anything involving the government is a headache.
