Yes, that would be wrong for a citizen who has paid into the healthcare system for 40-50 working years of their life to expect a decent return on their investment.
The fact that the receive the most is because
1) They're older, they paid for it, they need it the most and deserve it.
2) The increase in the percentage of citizens within this age bracket is a result of an increase in birthrate at the time of their births. It's called the "Baby Boom" which followed World War II ... look it up. Again, not THEIR fault.
3) Before you get your panties in a twist, realize that this age bracket, if anything, is growing so you better get used to it.
