People love to complain that when the government does something, it does it horribly.
People love to complain that when big business and corporations do something, they trample the little guy and throw the individual under the bus in the pursuit of profit.
People are never happy with any system, and no system is ever perfect.
As long as a system isn't being run the way an individual imagines it should and ought to be -- they won't be happy with it. It's the old "the world according to me" syndrome.

This proves once again that when you put the Government in control of your well-being things will not end well. The Government of the United States is a criminal organization. It didn't start that way, but now they have over stepped their Constitutional authority and operate with impunity around the world. We don't need them and never have. We need OUR money back to invest as we see fit.
I am sorry for your parents. I hope it all works out for them.

This does not prove that at all. So you never had a billing mistake from a private company like Verizon? I have had tons of horror stories. This is a mistake and it is badly affecting these people. It needs to get fixed.
There are millions of other people that are happy with SSA just fine.

And when those that opt out are screwed because they're to irresponsible to save, then what? Do we just let them die in poverty and say, "Well you got what you deserve!"
It would happen, people over estimate their own abilities all the time.
