Default Re: Social security and medicare

I only count on SS as a safety net in case DH or I should die while our kids are young. We have life insurance, but the monthly income could make the difference between poverty and a life similar to what we have now (because we neither one of us know how we'll react to the death of the other and it isn't inconceivable that we'd have to take a long term leave of absense from work).
