        And they've stood the test of time! Can you imagine where we'd be, in light of stagnant wages, soaring costs of living (esp. medical costs), and dissolution of most pensions?

        Truman first proposed the idea of #Medicare, but it took fighting the @GOP all the way into the Johnson administration to finally get there.

        Trust fund has been decimated & the Medicare Hospital Insurance (Part A) trust fund is projected to be depleted in 2026, three years earlier than the 2017 projection. Aging population will continue to tax the system & yet no serious gov't discussion while Nero fiddled Rome burned
