re: Senior Citizens Healthcare

Posted on Thu Sep 03 15:38:08 -0700 2009
Thanks for listening! I have a great topic discussion regarding senior citizens. Definitely something we all could consider: What about the idea of changing the official retirement age to 60 instead of 65? How would it benefit American families? One of my college degrees is as an RN Assistant and from what I've learned and experienced working in the healthcare business is that it would be a really great thing for seniors to do so. For example, seniors would be allowed to have senior discounts at an earlier age. If we changed the official retirement age to 60 instead of 65 it would only be a benefit. In a lot of situations, not only can a person not work at 65, but they have a very difficult time doing anything: travel, living, being capable of enjoying things they used to enjoy, etc. If we changed it to 60, at least they could enjoy their retirements a few years (at least) before they can't do anything anymore. Just something to think about. :) Also, while I've got you guys on the line, this new transfer to digital from analog, may not have been the best thing to do. Millions of seniors who do not understand, lost their televisions completely or are having problems with signal interference so badly--that their TV's keep going on and off on them, every hour, and they don't understand why. I don't understand why we had to take the analog down??? I major in Medicine through Communications/acting, so I understand technologies very well. Why did we have to trash the analog? There are so many millions of TV's in this country right now that are operating only blank screens. For example, the TV's at LAX (taxi holding lots) are still blank with nothing showing on them. Any TV's outside that depended upon analog signals prior to the new digital requirements are still null and void and receive no signals. How many seniors have no TV now when before, it was their only source of joy?
