You don't simply get back what you put in. Do some reading about it and then tell me whether you consider it a wealth redistribution program. (Note: I'm not saying Social Security is a bad thing. I'm just saying it's much larger in scale than the subsidies for health insurance.) No, that’s not how Social Security works. You don’t simply get back what you put in.

If so I am technically getting back my money whereas the new Healthcare Legislation is taking tax money from some and paying for healthcare insurance for low inclome people who pay little to no taxes. I can see the arguement that this is a form of wealth redistribution.
