text: Medicare was meant to be a reimbursement of funds during retirement which were funded during a person's working years. These funds are being used for "Illegal, Undocumented Alien Immigrants" in "Sanctuary Cities".  Other areas of abuse are children adopted by grandparents to sneak benefits to families that have not paid into the medicare system.  People on welfare that have never had a job are allowed to apply for Quest, which is also funded with Medicare funds.  The fact is that people that paid into the Medicare system are now being cheated so that politicians can buy the next generation of voters.
