Well, the election is over and we have a new President-Elect and we will have to see how his administration will affect our elderly health care. Mr. Obama stated in his campaign that he will increase the amount of income that is taxed to provide monthly Social Security benefits. He also stated that Social Security is the most important social program in our country. As to Medicare, his view is that he wants to keep it strong. Obama's Illinois Senate website states "Medicare is a promise we have made to our seniors, and along with Social Security, it is essential to a dignified and financially sound retirement. Cuts to Medicare will seriously harm those who have worked all their lives, paid into the system, and need medical care." Not sure what that means, but we will just have to wait and see what changes will come to our seniors. I am hopeful that our elderly will be taken care of and not forgotten.
