Medicare is NOT welfare, NOR is it FREE. We all pay into the Medicare system through taxes that are taken out of our paychecks, then, once we qualify for Medicare (through age or disability), we still have to pay premiums and copays and 20% of whatever else is involved. In what way is that at all "welfare?"
