If they kill SSi and Medicare, my wife and I will be fine. We saved during all the 50 years we each worked. You should be focusing on being self sufficient not depending on Uncle Sam to support you. JMO.

Just curious, what's the fallback for health insurance. My main concern with the Medicare + no ACA is that insurance companies driven by actuaries and profit hunting (they are businesses after all) are either going to outright deny the aging population any sort of substantial coverage or charge an amount that drains whatever 401k + IRA + savings accounts we all have. All during years where serious illness with long term substantial costs are more likely. That scares me...
Social security I agree... it's money I pretty much have said I'll never see again.
