Barbara Kennelly, the Director of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, spoke at the NOSSCR Conference today. Here are a couple of points I picked up:
- She fears that if there are cuts in Social Security that disability benefits will be cut more than retirement benefits.
- She would like to see a 2% increase in Social Security benefits this year despite the lack of inflation.
I think a minimum guaranteed COLA would help offset the increase in out of pocket medical expenses, esp. for those with lower payment amounts. Jus' sayin'.
