Retired seniors on Social Security ALONE would seem the intended (and most needy) recipients of this bill. HOWEVER, few to none of them (us) make any money and pay income taxes - so the provision is worse than disingenuous as a benefit, because it helps only those who need it less. Ho will a senior couple living on less than $1000 per month, too old to get work in the area, and already saddled with doubling utility rates, unable even to afford a doctor's visit when in pain, pay the "premium" for even Medicare?... 61889@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:26:22 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_960.html#58767 This is a great bill and will help people 55-65 tremendously!... 58767@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 13 May 2009 17:51:15 EDT
