Add increased supplemental health insurance and prescription drug costs to the mix, and we worry about being able to afford retirement, as my husband is unable to work.I cannot afford insurance for myself, my employer does not offer it, and I am not old enough to enroll in Medicare.I never thought that the United States and the State of Illinois,and locally, Schaumburg would put their pet projects and pork ahead of the health of its citizens, but I was wrong. We need to rein in the incessant spending of our governments, national and local, so that people can have the peace of mind that they deserve in their later years.
