I’m scared to even read those links.
 And I’m afraid it won’t be there for me and if they keep raising the minimum age it definitely won’t be.And I will probably lose my MediCaid due to life insurance benefits. Any gain you get the government wants a piece as in taxes. Or they cut your benefits since you have these funds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When it comes to these things I have one observation: People can't win.
It seems Medicare is now paying less on drugs, too, even with the plan. |

If the Republicans would get out of the way congress could fix the drug costs.

 I won't even bother to read these articles, they won't help me and it may not be around when I'm old enough. CRAP!

While I am delighted with the increase, it only served to push me further away from qualifying for the "extra help" they speak of ...
I'm one of those that makes just a wee bit too much (less than 20k a year after mandatory Medicare deductions), yet not enough to swing proper medical care on my own. It sucks watching oneself fall through the cracks ...

 I can relate. It's the American Way. I don't get the "extra help" and I'm sure many don't. They put so many draconian requirements to get "help". If you make over the income "limit" they reduce or stop your benefits, so you fall farther into poverty. And the limit is so insanely low, one would be in a tent by then. I read CA will get rid of the asset cap for MediCal next year, as forcing people to have so little in assets to qualify means no money for emergencies, retirement, or other expenses. Everyone doesn't live in a house or have a pension. They are left for fend for themselves. Many pay rent and "low income senior housing" is not only not plentiful but the waiting lists are years long. And they have both minimum and maximum income requirements. Age requirements, income requirements, sigh. Until last year I wasn't old enough to get help from this non-profit that "helps" older adults find resources they need.

 I've looked at things through different eyes since COVID, which magnified the inequality already there. As a kid I was spoon fed the idea of how great we are. Brainwashed, I was! Hard work and play by the rules and you get ahead. What BS. I hope they don't still teach that. It's a lie.And we do a lot of victim blaming and gaslighting in this culture too. And positive thinking is supposed to fix everything, even physical illnesses. Unfortunately I don't think we'll see an overhaul in our lifetime either, unless we live to be 100. And maybe not even then.

Here's the Average Social Security Check for All 66 Million Beneficiaries in 2023
I'm not quite as cynical as some of you are--but I definitely don't want the GOP to be making decisions about Social Security. |

The good thing is that the house will waste their time on cutting SS but they don’t have the senate on their side. That time away from their unicorn hunting of Biden.

Social Security Cuts Are on the Table: How the Current Proposal Can Impact You
At least I'm already on Social Security. My younger son, who is 30, is already saving up for retirement, assuming SS will be non-existent by the time he's eligible anyway. |

Those changes are mostly positive especially to the elderly and low income earner. Taxing those that earn over 400, 000 isn’t a bad idea.
