I served in the military and paid into the Medicare and social security system my entire life. You sound like a spoiled arse trust fund baby.

LOL not a trust fund kid at all just saved and invested during my own military career. Well into your 40s there was no Medicare prescription drug plan. How otherwise capable people wait until their 60s to figure this stuff out then complain about the system is beyond me. You paid into this system. Your taxes would have been much higher if all seniors had been getting full drug coverage all along. Now that youre drawing off the system you want it to becomes more generous doubt you were squawking for higher taxes whike working. Instead, just as boomers approached retirement we got the largest increase in Medicare coverage (adding somwthing like $500+ billion to the costs over first decade if I recall) and somehow thats not enough.
I scoff at most the boomer memes but this is why some younger folks are frustrated at ya'll.
