No one on Social Security should be less than $2,700.00 a month.
Right now Social Security is structured to enforce poverty.
Workers who received poverty wages during their working lives are forced into even more extreme poverty when they can no longer work and there is no justification for this kind of legislatively enforced poverty... this is an injustice Social Security was never meant to enforce and there must be legislation forthcoming now to correct this injustice.
And this injustice is made even worse by forcing pensioners to pay $144.00 a month for Medicare Part B which still requires very high-priced supplemental insurance which still doesn’t cover many medical procedures.
Medicare should cover 100% of all medical including dental, vision and hearing.
We have paid enough into the Social Security and Medicare systems during our working years to more than cover our health care and provide for real living incomes in our retirement years.
That Democrats and the advocates of Medicare for All refuse to address the need for these reforms shows they are merely using our problems as campaign gimmicks with no intent to bring about real change...
Perhaps these politicians in Washington would take us seniors more seriously if we joined the youth out in the streets... apparently taking to the streets gets you more than the vote does.
What we need is a National Public Health Care System to replace this hideous free-market profit-driven health care system.
Publicly funded.
Publicly administered.
Publicly delivered.
Based on the model of public education; nothing controversial at all...
The most cost effective way to provide the highest quality health care and it would cost less than what is collected in the present payroll tax for Medicare.
