Yes we did a whole life worth of work paying into it and still paying into Medicare!!!we were supposed to get a cost of living adjustment this January and guess what they raised my Medicare payment from 179 to 185 and I only got 1$ raise!!!
Trump's nominee to run Medicare is Dr. Oz, noted TV shill & paid promoter of dubious cures.
Dr. Oz wants everyone on original Medicare to be moved to Medicare Advantage plans, which are PRIVATELY run. Once original Medicare is gone, we'll be at the mercy for-profit insurance companies!
I wander what will Social Security be an entitlement for kitty Kay girl when she old age and can’t work, I think all these inexperienced speaker need to stop being asshole toward ppl who need public assistance, America is a country where nightmares are made
They are entitlements in the true sense that we are entitled to get somethibg back for what we paid in. Just not the pejorative way that the right-wing uses the term “entitlements”.
You’re absolutely right they are a separate function and come from us paying in all those years. Sometimes the government borrows from them which they really shouldn’t, but it is our money.😳
What is the meaning of entitlement?
An entitlement is the right to a particular privilege or benefit, granted by law or custom. Your entitlement program at work might offer various benefits, or you might receive a medical entitlement once you reach a certain age. ie. Medicare, Medicare and SS
What should happen is that the Congress should return the money they "borrowed" from the Social Security Trust Fund over years. Money that we, the workers, paid into the fund for our retirement. Not an entitlement. An insurance. We should repay it with a tax on the ultra rich. Of course they won't.
Republicans deserve to feel bankruptcy for this scam just because they refuse to pay into it I condemn Donald J Trump for being a Russian con artist asshole prick his not a billionaire and his certainly not clever
I would argue that SS and Medicare ARE entitlements because we paid in, so we are entitled to benefit from them. But I realize the greedy titans consider "entitlements" a dirty word.
Yes, came here to say that. We are entitled to entitlements! 😄 but similar to the words "woke", "feminism", and "inclusion", they try to remove the word's power by insinuating it's a bad thing.
I hate that the term "entitlement" has become inextricably conflated with "a false sense of entitlement." An entitlement is a legal right or a just claim to receive or do something. We ARE entitled to the money we paid in, plus interest. It is an entitlement.
I'm from a small island country in the Caribbean. Our government spent all of the SS money, so they had to give a big chunk of the island to a Qatari billionaire. Good times.
They are entitlements. The clue is in the word. An entitlement is a thing to which you are entitled. Stop letting the GOP redefine words that already have perfectly good meanings.

Entitlement is not a dirty word, it means you and me are entitled to what we already paid for. Period.

They also believe in Jewish space lasers, and that we have regular “antifa” meetings.

We paid for them, and we are entitled to get what we paid for.
You're thinking of "benefits".
