| Message | I think there is the mistaken overriding assumption here that everyone has the means/income to save up for retirement. Especially when you take into account the rising costs of medical care, pharmaceuticals--in addition to the overwhelming trend of chronic disease, obesity, and downright dismal health of the public and disregard for preventative health that continues to plague generations as early as childhood. I think we owe it to our elderly to at last provide the option to support those who need it most. |
