59. It IS about the money.. it ALWAYS is
Every single person who dies before age 68 or so, never collects the money that they paid in to SS and medicare for those 40 + years that they contributed..

and for employers' insurance companies, they are less likely to have maternity expenses, pediatrician expenses etc..

Single people do not have a spouse at home "prodding" them to go to the doctor/dentist/shrink/etc..

Single people pay in and often do not "use up" their benefits..
