Because if you means test, you're basically telling people that if they make more income in their lives, then the government will charge them more for their medical care. So this is a disincentive to invest / make more money, just like "higher taxes" is a disincentive to invest / make more money*.

Or you could just say that if you want to collect a government pension check, you need to pay MORE into the program and for a longer amount of time, because if you don't do that, there won't be nothing left for your kids 50 years down the road.
Canada had to make the same changes with CPP.
