With Social Security seemingly taking the largest chunk of the discretionary spending... as our population gets older. Then Medicare.
A very wealthy client of mine, with cancer, has leaned on medicare for over $2M... certainly more than he put in... Also have seen unemployed with Medicaid take big chunks.
