Social Programs provide a social safety net which allows people to take more chances and be entrepreneurs and once they get into their sixties actually retire.
What do I mean?
Think about what happens of the GOP got their way and replaced Medicare with a voucher system where you had to purchase private insurance. Well since private insurance is more expensive even with large deductibles you unless you are wealthy will need to continue to work. Why? Likely you will get a better deal on insurance through an employer for one, and two you will need the extra cash to simply afford the premiums and then you also have to deal with the deductibles. So this encourages people to stay working longer and that takes away a possible position for someone younger coming out of school. Well how to fix Medicare so it doesnt go bankrupt. Well 2 ways. 1 you increase Medicare Withholding from 1.45% to say 2%. Or even better expand Medicare to allow all to purchase into instead of purchasing private insurance. Larger pool of younger healthier people brings down the cost. Since Medicare isn't for profit and overhead is only 3% you the premium can be cheaper than private insurance yet have in it $ to help pay for the people over 65 that are provided with Medicare for free. This provides added benefits as well. Since people wouldnt need to get insurance from employers since they can get good coverage for less they can take chances on opening their own business. Otherwise you are at risk of something happening that wipes you and your family out. Studies show that raising age for Medicare very likely to increase costs because people are waiting on treatments when they get into their 60s already because soon they will have Medicare. Pushing the age up to 67 just means when people get in the tend to be in poorer health.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
