Privatize Social Security

The Social Security program provides workers and their families with retirement, disability, and survivors insurance benefits. Workers earn these benefits by paying into the system during their working years. Over the program’s 83-year history, it has collected roughly $20.9 trillion and paid out $18.0 trillion, leaving asset reserves of $2.9 trillion at the end of 2017 in its two trust funds.

With assets of $2.9 trillion, who wouldn’t want to be the owner--?

I am sure Trump's minions would like a slice of the pie !!

I believe prescription drug costs is the real rip off to us consumers.

I hope the House looks into this and forces more competition to drive down costs and look into reasons doctor's prescribe some medications that are not needed.

Proposals in the house has been to institute socialism. Which does not work.

Cuba, Venezuela and China are shining examples of how it benefits people.

A few years ago, I drove to my local hospital because I felt a pain and went to the emergency room. The hospital implanted a stent in one of my arteries the same day. I paid “zero”; Medicare paid 100% of the bill

Last month I went to renew my driver’s license and the drivers license department required me to get my doctor to sign a statement that I was healthy enough to drive a car. My doctor refused to do so unless I get my heart looked at.

I went to the emergency room at the same hospital and told my story. From there they sent me to a special ward in the hospital where the scanned my heat and took a few other tests. The then sent a report to my personal doctor.

Medicare paid 100% of the cost.

the above is the truth, nothing but the truth so help me God

btw: I'm 67 years old

the SS has always seemed like a big ponzi scheme to me. everybody pays in and just a tiny few (that payed in) take out. so what happens to all the rest of the money, and thats when you get into a big grey area.
