Ayn Rand, Hypocrite?

Legendary opponent of “welfare state” received Social Security and probably Medicare

By Patia Stephens

Critics of Social Security and Medicare frequently invoke the words and ideals of author and philosopher Ayn Rand, one of the fiercest critics of federal insurance programs. But a little-known fact is that Ayn Rand herself collected Social Security. She may also have received Medicare benefits.

An interview recently surfaced that was conducted in 1998 by the Ayn Rand Institute with a social worker who says she helped Rand and her husband, Frank O’Connor, sign up for Social Security and Medicare in 1974.

Federal records obtained through a Freedom of Information act request confirm the Social Security benefits. A similar FOI request was unable to either prove or disprove the Medicare claim.

Between December 1974 and her death in March 1982, Rand collected a total of $11,002 in monthly Social Security payments. O’Connor received $2,943 between December 1974 and his death in November 1979.

According to a spokesman in the Baltimore headquarters of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Rand and O’Connor were eligible for both Part A, which provides hospital coverage, and Part B, medical. The spokesman said their eligibility for Part B means they did apply for Medicare; however, he said he was not authorized to release any documentation and referred the request to the CMS New York regional office. That office said they could not locate any records related to Rand and O’Connor.

The couple registered for benefits shortly after Rand, a two-pack-a-day smoker, had surgery for lung cancer in the summer of 1974. Medicare had been enacted nine years earlier in the Social Security Act of 1965 to provide health insurance to those age 65 and older.

Evva Joan Pryor, a New York social worker, was interviewed on July 21, 1998, by Scott McConnell, then director of communications for the Ayn Rand Institute. Pryor later became a prominent film rights agent before her death in 2008. McConnell recorded interviews with at least 130 Rand friends and associates for ARI’s Oral History Program between 1996 and 2000. Most of the interviews remain unpublished, although McConnell, now listed as a researcher with the Institute’s Ayn Rand Archives, is working on a book containing material from them.

In the interview, Pryor recounts working as a consultant for Rand’s attorneys, who asked her to speak with Rand about applying for Social Security and Medicare. The two women ended up becoming friends, meeting regularly to play Scrabble and argue politics. While they had philosophical differences, Pryor’s respect and affection for Rand is clear.

“She was coming to a point in her life where she was going to receive the very thing she didn’t like, which was Medicare and Social Security,” Pryor told McConnell. “I remember telling her that this was going to be difficult. For me to do my job she had to recognize that there were exceptions to her theory. So that started our political discussions. From there on – with gusto – we argued all the time.

“The initial argument was on greed,” Pryor continued. “She had to see that there was such a thing as greed in this world. Doctors could cost an awful lot more money than books earn, and she could be totally wiped out by medical bills if she didn’t watch it. Since she had worked her entire life, and had paid into Social Security, she had a right to it. She didn’t feel that an individual should take help.”

McConnell asked: “And did she agree with you about Medicare and Social Security?”

Pryor replied: “After several meetings and arguments, she gave me her power of attorney to deal with all matters having to do with health and Social Security. Whether she agreed or not is not the issue, she saw the necessity for both her and Frank. She was never involved other than to sign the power of attorney; I did the rest.”

The interview continued with Pryor’s reminiscences about her friendship with Rand — their Scrabble playing, political discussions and shared love of Agatha Christie novels – and other observations about Rand, including her relationships with her cook Eloise Huggins, sister Nora and husband Frank. Pryor said that when Frank O’Connor died, she went with Rand to the cemetery in Valhalla, New York, to choose a burial plot and make his funeral arrangements. Rand chose to make her own arrangements at the same time. When Rand later became ill and died, Pryor, who still had power of attorney, made necessary decisions together with Leonard Peikoff, Rand’s legal and intellectual heir.



Winding down the interview, McConnell asked: “Would you say that Ayn Rand practiced what she preached?”

Pryor replied, laughing: “Yes, that’s why I had so much trouble with her.”

“You mean the Social Security issue and all that?” McConnell said.

“Yes,” Pryor said.

Peikoff went on to found the Ayn Rand Institute in 1985. In 1993, he delivered his now-famous speech, “Health Care is Not a Right,” in which he described “socialized medicine” as impractical, immoral and evil. “According to the Founding Fathers,” Peikoff said, “we are not born with a right to a trip to Disneyland, or a meal at McDonald’s, or a kidney dialysis (nor with the 18th-century equivalent of these things).” He continued:

Some people can’t afford medical care in the U.S. But they are necessarily a small minority in a free or even semi-free country. If they were the majority, the country would be an utter bankrupt and could not even think of a national medical program. As to this small minority, in a free country they have to rely solely on private, voluntary charity. Yes, charity, the kindness of the doctors or of the better off—charity, not right, i.e. not their right to the lives or work of others. And such charity, I may say, was always forthcoming in the past in America. The advocates of Medicaid and Medicare under LBJ did not claim that the poor or old in the ’60′s got bad care; they claimed that it was an affront for anyone to have to depend on charity.

But the fact is: You don’t abolish charity by calling it something else. If a person is getting health care for nothing, simply because he is breathing, he is still getting charity, whether or not any politician, lobbyist or activist calls it a “right.” To call it a right when the recipient did not earn it is merely to compound the evil. It is charity still—though now extorted by criminal tactics of force, while hiding under a dishonest name.


Rand herself called altruism a “basic evil” and referred to those who perpetuate the system of taxation and redistribution as “looters” and “moochers.” She wrote in her book “The Virtue of Selfishness” that accepting any government controls is “delivering oneself into gradual enslavement.” In a 1972 edition of her newsletter, she said:

Morally and economically, the welfare state creates an ever accelerating downward pull. Morally, the chance to satisfy demands by force spreads the demands wider and wider, with less and less pretense at justification. Economically, the forced demands of one group create hardships for all others, thus producing an inextricable mixture of actual victims and plain parasites. Since need, not achievement, is held as the criterion of rewards, the government necessarily keeps sacrificing the more productive groups to the less productive, gradually chaining the top level of the economy, then the next level, then the next.


Rand is one of three women the Cato Institute calls founders of American libertarianism. The other two, Rose Wilder Lane and Isabel “Pat” Paterson, both rejected Social Security benefits on principle. Lane, with whom Rand corresponded for several years, once quit an editorial job in order to avoid paying Social Security taxes. The Cato Institute says Lane considered Social Security a “Ponzi fraud” and “told friends that it would be immoral of her to take part in a system that would predictably collapse so catastrophically.” Lane died in 1968.

Paterson, according to Barbara Branden in her book “The Passion of Ayn Rand,” was for a time a close friend and mentor to Rand. After retiring in 1949, Paterson left the envelope with her Social Security card unopened. According to the Cato Institute, Paterson chose to “live well enough” on her investments, although according to Branden, she moved in with friends in 1959, “ill and poor.” She died in 1961.

Rand may have rationalized that since she had paid into Social Security and Medicare, she was entitled to receive benefits. In a 1966 article for The Objectivist newsletter, she wrote about the morality of accepting Social Security, unemployment insurance or similar payments:

It is obvious, in such cases, that a man receives his own money which was taken from him by force, directly and specifically, without his consent, against his own choice. Those who advocated such laws are morally guilty, since they assumed the “right” to force employers and unwilling co-workers. But the victims, who opposed such laws, have a clear right to any refund of their own money—and they would not advance the cause of freedom if they left their money, unclaimed, for the benefit of the welfare-state administration.

One of two biographies of Ayn Rand published in 2009, “Ayn Rand and the World She Made” by Anne C. Heller, contains a sentence about Rand’s receipt of Social Security benefits. Heller writes that Rand and her protégée, former chair of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan, “clashed over his leadership of a committee whose purpose was to bolster Social Security (a benefit she deplored but, unlike Isabel Paterson, accepted because she had paid into the fund).”

Rand often spoke of moral absolutism, saying “There can be no compromise on basic principles,” but the realities of aging and illness seem to have softened her stance. Social Security, and perhaps Medicare, allowed Rand and her husband to maintain their quality of life, remain in their apartment and live out their final years with dignity.

Up here you're forced to have insurance on your vehicle.

So when someone smashes into your car, do you say "oh well I don't agree with this mandatory insurance so I will not make a claim and I will just keep paying the premium too"? Of course not. You make a claim and you take it for all it's worth. The bastards invited you to play their game, actually forced you to play it, so screw them... win the game if you can.

If it ever comes my time to collect on any entitlement programs you can bet I'll milk them like crazy. They stole from me, I'll take it back.

To criticize Rand as hypocritical for accepting SSI and Medicare is falacious. In the case of the latter, the individual, who was forced to participate ab initio, finds herself facing huge potential medical costs at the end of life. The costs are so high that to not accept the Social Welfare benefit is tantamount to suicide. But why are the medical costs so high? That's the rub: they are so high because of the Social Welfare system that has fed the medical establishment with ever increasing funds and encouraged care without restriction to the point of absurd. The Medicare system has caused the health care system to hypertrophy into a cost structure that is way beyond the realm of economic reality. It is typical for the system to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a patient with 6 months or less to live, on experimental or cutting edge medicines, prosthetic devices, complex surgeries, radiation, implants and every thing else under the sun. While this sounds very noble and compassionate, one has to ask if we as a society can afford to indulge such resource consumption towards such comparatively non-productive ends.

But it's not free, is it? Your free ride is someone else's obligation.Socialism encourages "free rides." That is why it eventually collapses. Most people do not have the work ethic and self-less generosity of the late Mother Teresa. Most people eventually succumb to the temptation of the "free ride." Some will say it is out of need or necessity, and that may be. But when I see patients coming in for free care with $300 cell phones and gold piercings and ornate tatoos, I find myself asking which was more necessary, the cell phone or the free care?

Ronald Flanagan was already exhausted. The Vietnam veteran was fighting cancer and was just about to get a biopsy before a stem cell transplant when his wife burst into the room with some very bad news: The couple had been dropped by their insurance carrier and couldn't pay for the procedure.

The reason for the dropped coverage? The Flanagans, from Thornton, Colo., were 2 cents short on their $328.69 premium payment, something Frances Flanagan says was a simple accounting error she made while paying the bill on the computer.

"I pressed the '7' instead of the '9,' " she told AOL News today by phone. "I created this and now my husband won't be able to get his transplant."

What silliness.

Heroes don't "dream to die" for their country. Heroes may dream of facilitating the death of others in the name of their country. And they only become "heroes" when they are successful at it.

Real US patriotism is dedicated to the Ideal that is America against all enemies of that ideal, both foreign and domestic.

If we do eventually lose to the Russians, Chinese, Japanese and Muslims it will because we failed to guard against our enemies within more than anything the Russians, Chinese, Japanese and Muslims could put up against us.

Nobody in their right mind would wanna die for such an ideal, I don`t blame anyone for not being insane.


You can thank your very own Ba'al/Moloch worshipping ilk for the state of North America.

Quit trying to blame the victims, when you know it is the jew who perpetrates and accelerates the downfall of these Nations (Canada/USA) and the morality if its inhabitants.

I don`t see no downfall in morality here. Actually I`m seeing an improvement. USA was based on genocide of the Natives and Black slavery. Now that all the indigenous people here are dead, USA is bombing the brown people in other countries for their resources and cheap labor.
Here and now in North America things are beautiful compared to the way this satanic orgy had started. The US satanists are kindly exporting the horrors to North Korea,Vietnam,Serbia,Iraq,Afghan etc.

Book, let`s get back to basic physiology. Is GSUS a gold and silver forum or a shit and heroin forum?
I AM TIRED of both shit and heroin, that`s why I decided to drink the cup of indescribable pain and get clean.
Seems like you ain`t tired of shit and heroin yet.
I can help you, get a good heroin connection, start snorting, then skin-popping
(PM me about all the intricasies of filtering and cooking dope, I don`t want your old ass die of an infection).
Shitting in pants starts after a reaching about 100$/day skin-pop habit, if sustained for a month or 2.

PS. Your WASPish Shadenfreude is open for everyone to see, just as my Russian magnanimity is.

Again, you can thank the jew.



Another thing they don't teach you in school is that Columbus was financed by jews, a majority of his crew were jews, and the first people he told about America were jews. Also, some of the first settlers in America were jews.

Once exposed to heroin and the like, your opioid receptors are permanently downregulated, forever. You can never achieve a high like the first one. Once a junkie always a junkie, even if "clean," because your brain can never forget that first pleasurable experience. I know some "clean" ex-junkies and they are forever preoccupied with possibly getting high. I feel sorry for them because it is a curse - the monkey is dormant but always on your back ready to reawaken. All these friends and relatives who participated in the "fabulous '60s" drug experimentation made a tragic and permanent mistake when they chose to screw around with their own bodies, encouraged by irresponsible assholes like Timothy Leary and the like.

Timothy Leary may have been an irresponsible asshole, but I don't recall him advising people to do heroin.

I associate the 60's more with marijuana and LSD than heroin.... and marijuana and LSD cause virtually zero harm compared to heroin, and they aren't addictive either.
