Dear Nikki: More research showing that — unlike the better off — people in the bottom 50% are not living longer. Raising the Social Security retirement age again would mean many more low-income workers will die before getting a check. See:
“Raising Social Security’s retirement age would slam low-wage workers yet again” – op-ed
“Quick links – Center on Capital & Social Equity work on Social Security and retirement savings”
BTW, Congress increased the standard Social Security retirement age to age 67 four decades ago. The change is gradually being implemented.
