before social security and medicare

many old people were left in terrible circumstances because they were too old to work

and in the private sector many companies have cheated senior employees out of receving a pension and a healthcare plan

for example if it took 20 years for an employee to get retirement benefits , in the private sector, they would fire the employees in the 19th year

so many old people before social security and medicare had to eat dog and cat food to survive

many faced living with diseases without getting insurance and treatment

some faced homelessness

economy benefits too in that social welfare schemes help the bottom line and profit margins of hospitals, grocery stores and apartment building owners. since social security income once started comes every month...these sectors of the economy receive some of that money too every month in form of rent, grocery, Co pay, etc

much of the social welfare movement for seniors had started when the government refused to pay for the pensions for those who fought in world war one. thousands of veterans came to Washington DC to protest and fight this injustice. this and other labor protests went noticed by theodore and franklin roosevelt.

franklin roosevelt was the president who really started the social welfare programs for seniors over coming the protests of republicans and probably some in his party

Effectus [21]
<span>The correction answer when dealing with the development of self lies within both interactions with other and our own internal thoughts. There is no absolute proof that either is more proven than the next. So the only logical conclusion is that we are influenced by others as we grow but when we hit adulthood we consider those influences and ultimately we make our own decisions on who we will become as a person.</span>
