We will agree to disagree on social security.
But someone needs to get the conservatives to stop influencing googles AI:
Yes, Social Security is considered a form of socialism because it is a government-run program that provides financial support to individuals, particularly retirees, funded through taxes. It represents government intervention in the economy to ensure a basic standard of living for citizens. hoover.org atlassociety.org
Medicaid can be considered a form of socialism because it is a government-run program that provides health care to low-income individuals, funded by taxpayer dollars. However, it differs from pure socialism as it allows for private healthcare providers to operate alongside the program.
Medicare is not considered socialism; it is a publicly funded health insurance program that provides coverage for seniors and certain disabled individuals in the U.S. While it involves government funding, it does not operate hospitals or employ healthcare workers, which are characteristics of socialized medicine
Apparently Medicare
It is gov't run, but funded by the individual's own contributions. They are leaving that part out. My social security will be based on what I paid into the system. From MY earnings only. It's not like other people are contributing to the check amount I will be getting. Everyone is paying the system, yes, but the system is paying only what they are putting into in return.
