Everyone agrees private health insurance isn't meeting patient needs. But I've yet to see an affordable way to turn health care into a public entitlement. Federal deficits are already in the trillions. Doctors, hospitals, clinics, and other care providers are demanding higher payments. Ideas?

The WSJ has some sad snapshots of the suboptimal decisions at retirement age people are making because, despite whatever Trump has said about not touching Soc. Security, the staffing and service cuts sure look like intentional dismantling. 🎁 www.wsj.com/personal-fin...

Dan Hietpas, 64, said he had planned to delay claiming until nearly age 67, when he is eligible for his full benefit.

But the Chippewa Falls, Wis., resident, who retired five years ago from teaching, filed in January, due to concerns about benefit cuts and “chaos” at the agency.

His wife Jill Hietpas, 66, began her Social Security last year. The couple printed out their earnings records in case their data disappears or becomes inaccurate.
