Before making a comment like that, icon66, you should look up the word "entitlement". Social Security and Medicare are insurance, paid for by working people through taxes on their payroll. I will start to receive Social Security soon, and the monthly amount I will received depends on how much I've paid into the system.

An entitlement would be something like, say, a tax break. Like the ones given to corporations and wealthy businesspersons. Like Donald Trump, for instance.

Although I think you may be winking at us.
