The problem is that you can only understand if it is spelled out for you. It is why you're having an impossible time accepting that Medicare (and Social Security and VA) was instituted as a social welfare program, run by the government to ensure a social safety net for the people.
Nope. Legislated as an insurance program. Count how many times the word "insurance" is used in the following: P.L. 89-97
Now count how many times the word "welfare" is used: ZERO
You "want" them to be a welfare program, but that doesn't make it so. Premium payments are required for eligibility.
You do know the U.S. charges an exorbitant exit tax, right?
No, I don't. Never felt that being an American and contributing to the society was a burden, much less assume that thieves are in the act. But, you do, so choose accordingly. You surely are smarter than the Russians fleeing Putin's ideas. No?
It means to keep people from harming each other in their actions.
An example is the action of me taking your life, placing it in harms way, etc... That is, if I am responsible for the injury of another.
This does not mean the injury you sustain by your own hand, lack of responsibility, or actions you take that places you in such danger.
It is obvious to me, but I doubt you get it. Hence I asked you to explain what it means to you, preferably with a few variety for examples. So, please try again.

Only because a very large percentage of my earned income is taken from me. If I didn't have to pay any federal income tax (51% pay no federal income tax whatsoever), or if EVERYONE had the same percentage of their income taken from them for federal income tax as I do, I wouldn't feel that way.

I am not going to help you put you out of your misery. I provided you with an idea that should work like no other and guaranteed to work.
