 So does the US government. There are 50 million covered by Medicaid and Medicare, each. [Without social security, the poverty rate for people above 65 yrs in the US would be 41%. Instead, it's 9%.](https://www.cbpp.org/research/social-security/social-security-keeps-22-million-americans-out-of-poverty-a-state-by-state) It keeps 22 million people above the poverty line by itself.
