About 25% of post 65 retirees don't even use Medicare as their primary health insurance, which adds huge expenses.
Which begs the question, how hard is it to get a postal service job? I wonder if I can get a job with the postal service after I retire (before age 60) and get those postal medical benefits for life?
I think it was Cher who last week went down to her local post office to volunteer to help out. If tens of thousands would just follow her lead, we would solve this problem.
The post office kicked her out. They do not accept volunteers to handle the mail.
