I think a part of the problem, is that Social security does not receive the attention it deserves in the US. Especially in politcs.

The system now punishes people who are on Medicare. They are condemned to live in a crappy situation, and are skrewed over.

If these people were allowed to work and keep their Medicare, they could pay taxation over their wages / income, say an xx percentage. Of course that would mean also taxing people who are not on Medicare, and that is a measure that probably is not popular over there.

I know you did not do a thing to deserve all this crap Heather. Noah did not either. But the way the system works, you are skrewed. As long as the system does not improve, nor Noah's condition is cured (if ever), you must chose between working yourself to death, to pay his bills, or become "White Trash." I don't believe you would become "White Trash" however. You are much too strong for that.
