10. Psst! We have been hearing about this non-stop

for almost a year. I never felt this decrease in ss payment should have been made. SS is a lifeline. I know, for without it I would be dead in the water. SS and Medicare should be kept at all costs. Believe me, if it had not been taken out automatically, my dear late husband would have never saved that money. I was always the one with the savings account. I thank God and the Democrats every day for this haven of mercy. I also have to brag on Medicare. My medical bills were over $100,000 this year due to a serious condition requiring hospitalization for two weeks. I am still recovering, but grateful that my copays have been less than I could have believed. No deductibles or copays during hospitalization. I have had a lot of copays for follow up doctors' visits and medication, but, all in all, what a relief! I know this will be hard, but, honestly, it was an emergency situation, and if it goes on much longer, it will never go up again, and people will possibly lose ss.
