I applaud you for that.You'd think our Congressmen would realize married women need Medicare too. And maybe ad decent income because a husband's SS is not enough for a household of two. The Man is still working because we still have two dependants and there is no way we could make ends meet on his SS. I get less thaan $400 SS myself because like many another woman of my generation, I chose to mostly stay home and raise my kids instead of getting a job to earn money to pay some stranger to raise them for me.
