>How did these
seniors survive or get care before the Great Depression?
They didn't. People starved to death and died. Also, there weren't many seniors back then. Half of people died by age 55. Also healthcare was almost non-existant. Heck penicllin wasn't even invented yet.

I need some proof of that statement. :-)
