Or are you also against Medicare and Social Security?
I am legitimately against both of them.
For social security, it's a pyramid scheme that is enforced at government gunpoint. Even if it wasn't being horribly mismanaged, the demographic changes over the past couple decades mean I wouldn't expect to get much money out of it when I retire, and given the mismanagement I have absolutely 0 expectations of getting any money out of it.
As for medicare, not only does it have the same problem as Social Security but it pays doctors less than cost in a number of cases. This leads to a bunch of doctors who just flat out don't take it, and even for doctors who take it that just raises the prices for everyone else because the costs need to be covered somehow.
Now, the people who have spent their lives paying into these things and are relying on them do need to get some kind of compensation but the programs need to be phased out.
