“I did have some folks tell me I was a criminal for drawing on Medicare and Soc Sec.”
I’ve seen that on here. I’m sure you payed in so why not collect? OTOH, my grandmother which never worked, drew on SS for over 25 years. Is that right?
Was that due to being a survivor? Had your grandfather passed away? Had he paid into it?
Did she work at home, raise kids? My grandmother, who lived to be 100 and died in a nursing home, never held a job outside of home.
Do we let them die in an alley because they never worked? Remember, working women used to be in the minority when it was financially possible for women to stay home.
