(32,324 posts)Few older people who are NOT employed by some big corporation can afford health insurance. Even if the two of us go through the "exchange" set up here in Calif., it would cost $$ 17K a year before the exchange's health insurance program would kick in one red cent. (Over 1,000 a mo, plus two 2,500 deductibles and then co pays,each year.)
We have been tightly crossing our fingers and our toes-ies that neither of us gets sick before we reach that age. To raise it to 67 is CRIMINAL!
To the President , and to Congress members: Stop the wars. Stop enabling the other countries of the world to fight wars. And get the fifteen to sixteen trillions of dollars that Mr Bernanke dispensed to his buddies in the Global Elite in the form of the "digitized accounts" returned to our Treasury.
