I will have to continue working well into my 70's to be able to afford added costs of health insurance as well as be able to sustain the declining lifestyle we now have. My father, who is now 91, has witnessed his savings dwindle due to out of control costs of health care, food, property taxes and other costs. You must focus on the 99% of us that make up this country. Make everyone pay their fair share so we can keep programs like Medicare in place while making investments for our children's future: education, green technology, infrastructure, health care, etc.
Mark San Jose, CAMe myself, I,m assuming that things are looking up, but my lifestyle and everything that is evolved around it is time consuming. There aren,t too many seniors, but I am a respectable individual around seniors, and I try to be like that around most of my elders, some of them are very wise, and you can gain a bunch of knowledge.

debra Wailuku, HII had to choose between buying a new sheet for my father's bed or buying distilled water for his life support machine. I had to choose between getting my old car's heater fixed so my father wouldn't freeze on the way to the doctor and buying food. I had to choose between buying a coat for winter and buying propane to heat the house.
