> so what? It is on their dime, not yours.

Actually in Europe it is on a dime of a taxpayer so also his.

No, they paid into it their whole life. So, it is their dime not the current taxpayer’s. The taxpayer is paying for their own future.

[general1726]

That's not how state pensions or state healthcare works.

Which is why we should be against taxpayer-funded healthcare: You don't get to make some of these decisions because you aren't paying for it.
