I know you did not address the question to me, but I have a VERY small pension (in addition to Social Security), and I had the option of either taking a lump sum when I turned 62 or a small monthly amount that would not change over my lifetime.

I think that different pensions work in different ways, however.

Oh, come on, man.

I netted a whole $31 increase! That might even be enough to cover the increase in the price of a week's groceries!

And the increase was to cover a drug that has not been approved for use for Alzheimer’s!

With inflation now over 8%, this kind of an increase wreaks havoc with a senior trying to make ends meet.

There are so many things I want to say about Biden, but I’d likely be unable to post anything, so I’ll just behave and leave it at that!

Typical TeamBiden Scam.

WE live on a fixed income - TeamBiden does not, we even pay the Tab for their Insurance.

that was the whole argument AGAINST medicare for all... it would cost 6 trillion a year, and its cost would INCREASE every year

2/3 of Medicare is lost through fraud. Execute fraudsters and maybe things would improve.

I read it should be lowered next year. However, I do wish he'd roll that back this year too.

Two thirds? You need to provide a source for that if you want anyone to believe 2/3 of Medicare is lost through fraud.
