A liveable wage on Social Security is an imperative as more and more corporations have eliminated pensions, and decades of downsizing has greatly reduced both opportunity and net worth for the living working generations. The value of the USD through inflation has shrunk to about .03, and the true unreported inflation caused by the last administration has put some seniors into an unexpected hopeless financial situation as they age. Social Security annual minor increases do not keep up with cost of living. In addition, stop reducing the principle of the Social Security fund by using these retirement funds for government operations and giving enhanced benefits to illegal invaders in our country. Stop the corporation from chatteling and trading our SS numbers (we ate not property) and pay every citizen alive over age 40 restitution for years and decades of abuse within the system.
I expect the DOGE to totally reengineer the Social Security System and fund to provide true security, protection, and fairness to our current and future senior population!

Allow us to see Naturopaths, if we so choose, covered under Medicare.
Pay for hearing aides, false teeth/dentists, eye glasses (or at least a discount for them) The things most seniors should have but do without because of cost/lack of coverage, or having to pay extra for a supplement to cover these.

Medicare does not pay providers cost. In other words it is less than cost. It doesn’t even pay for the electric. Naturopathic Doctors and Functional Medicine Chiropractic Physicians also called Internal Medicine Chiropractic Physicians are not going to be able to accept Medicare as a payment. If you want to see that type of provider it is cash based.
People have become too dependent on insurance to pay for everything.
You would need a secondary coverage to pay for Integrative care. Even Integrative Care for Cancer is cash because private insurance will not pay for it.
People need to save their money for healthcare just like for fixing a car, going on vacation, buying appliances etc.
I understand it is a different situation for individuals on Medicare but it will likely never cover that type of provider for anything other than what it covers any other provider. Therefore, it would make it ineffective if someone is not going to pay cash for the additional services not covered by Medicare.

A three percent increase, then deduct medical extension expenses. All Medicare procedures should be covered…ALL MEDICARE medical expenses
I’m for the privatization of Social Security. It wouldn’t be that hard to do. For everyone living on social security age 60+ remain on social security with the provision of it being tax free and they need a better cost of living update. People age 30 to 60 would be given all of their accumulated amount back in a lump sum that would have to be immediately deposited into the 401k or IRA of their choice and future SS taxes would then be deposited into that account, no longer to the treasury. Finally young people just entering the work force would be required to open a 401k or IRA to then make their ss deposits into it until they reach retirement age. Investment companies can be directed to manage these accounts with a legal provision that nothing fraudulent occur without very severe consequences including fines imposed and or punitive damages to be paid directly to the individual or individuals affected. So the same taxes that you pay towards SS would instead be automatically deposited into your 401k or IRA. SS run by the government is a scam. the return on investment is maybe 4% . even if it is privatized the potential return would be much larger. Best part, the government no longer has their pile of money to steal from. Once the current 60+ age group expires then fund can be greatly reduced to only include special needs and disabled americans.
