Don’t call these things ‘entitlements’
Social Security and Medicare should be called “earned benefits“ not “entitlement“ programs. Working people pay them from payroll contributions. The word “entitlement” makes these benefits sound like something we didn’t earn. Please do not vote for anyone running for any office who uses the word “entitlements.”
