YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Crazy Ideas

I know everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. But let’s be honest. Sometimes a lot of those opinions can be downright crazy. And when it comes to Social Security, lots of people share their half-baked or out-and-out nutty ideas with me. And today, I’m going to share some of them with you:

Crazy Idea No. 1: “I think the law should say this: If you haven’t paid into Social Security, you don’t get anything out of Social Security. Period.”

My comments: On the surface, without thinking it through, this may seem to make sense to a lot of people. You must work and pay taxes into the program in order to reap the benefits of the program. But what about dependents and survivors? I went back to this guy and asked him this: “So, if a guy dies, you’re saying his wife should not get widows benefits?” And this was his reply: “That’s right. He should make plans to provide for his wife after he dies. It shouldn’t be up to the government to take care of her.”

The guy went on to explain that he is single, and that said a lot to me. Over the years, I’ve heard many single people who deeply resent the extra benefits that can be paid to the spouses and widows of their married counterparts. Some have told me they feel they’re being cheated. Others have said they don’t think it is their responsibility to support married people’s spouses.

Of course, that’s the same kind of argument that you hear from people who say they shouldn’t have to pay taxes for education because they don’t have any kids in schools. Or they shouldn’t pay taxes for libraries because they don’t read. Or they shouldn’t pay taxes for public transportation because they never take the bus. All these benefits and services exist because they contribute to the betterment of a civilized society. And yes, that reasoning also applies to benefits for the dependents of survivors of people who have worked and paid taxes into the Social Security system.

Crazy Idea No. 2: “Social Security benefits should only be paid to retirees. Get rid of the disability program. It’s a welfare program for deadbeats and losers. So, I say if you claim to be disabled, you should go on welfare.”

My comments: This is another half-baked idea I’ve heard many times over the years. I think it stems from the perception that the Social Security disability rolls are filled with cheaters and con artists who have never worked or paid any taxes.

So, let’s present some facts. First, you must work and pay taxes in order to qualify for Social Security disability benefits. Second, the Social Security disability eligibility criteria are quite severe, much more stringent than for many other public and private disability programs. Social Security law says you must have an impairment that is so severe it is expected to keep you from doing not just your old job but ANY kind of work for at least a year. Or it must be a terminal condition.

I went back to this guy and presented him with this scenario: “Let’s say you’ve got two neighbors, Bill and Bob. They’ve both worked side by side at the same factory all their lives. At age 62, Bill retires and starts getting Social Security retire-

90-Pound Chemo Patient Should Stop Fasting

Tidbits of Coachella Valley the bladder more completely. There are two major reasons for incomplete emptying, and different theories for why ibuprofen might work on each.

Benign (not cancerous) enlargement of the prostate is one reason. In this case, it is hypothesized that ibuprofen stops the growth of cells in the prostate, but the exact mechanism isn’t clear. Reducing the size of the prostate can allow better, more complete urine flow.

The other common cause of the prostate symptoms is inflammation of the prostate. In this case, ibuprofen’s anti-inflammatory effect reducing symptoms is easier to understand. The fact that it works so quickly for you suggests that the anti-inflammatory effect is more important in your case.

Ibuprofen does have possible side effects, but two ibuprofen once a day is unlikely to cause significant problems. ***

MEDICARE needs!

Personal home care: If you need to hire help for bathing, dressing or getting out of bed, Medicare typically won’t cover these costs either, unless you are homebound and are also receiving skilled nursing care.

Housekeeping services, such as shopping, meal preparation and cleaning are not covered either unless you are receiving hospice care. But a few Medicare Advantage plans do offer in-home support services.

Most dental care: Routine dental care including checkups, cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions and dentures are not covered

by Medicare. However, some Medicare Advantage plans do cover basic dental care services.

Routine foot care: Medicare does not cover most routine foot care, like the cutting or removing of corns, calluses and toenails.

But they do cover medically necessary podiatrist services for foot problems like hammertoes, bunion and heel spurs, along with exams, treatments and therapeutic shoes or inserts if you have diabetic foot problems.

Routine vision care and eyeglasses: Medicare does not cover routine eye exams, eyeglasses and contact lenses (except following cataract surgery), but tests, treatments and surgeries for medical eye diseases like cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration are covered. Some Medicare Advantage plans do offer routine vision benefits.

Overseas coverage: In most cases, health care outside of the United States is not covered by Medicare except for very limited circumstances – such as on a cruise ship within six hours of a U.S. port. But, Medigap supplemental plans D, G, M and N cover 80 percent of emergency care abroad, and some Medicare Advantage plans cover emergency care abroad too.

Dear Almost: While Medicare (Part A and B) covers a wide array of health care services after you turn 65, it doesn’t cover everything. If you need or want certain services that aren’t covered, you’ll have to pay for them yourself unless you have other insurance, or you enroll in a Medicare Advantage health plan, which may offer some additional benefits. Here’s a look at some commonly needed medical services that original Medicare does not cover:

Office: 760-320-0997

A:

Frank and John Fenton founded the Fenton Glass Co. in Williamstown, West Virginia, in 1905.

You have a bonbon dish that is part of the Silver Crest line. In 1942, it replaced their Crystal Crest pattern that can be distinguished by an opal edge. When held to the light, the Crystal Crest pattern had a luminous opal glow. Silver Crest was a huge success and was in production until the 1980s.

It was less complicated and less expensive to produce.

They produced a plethora of dishes including baskets, epergnes, bowls, candleholders, vases, punch bowls and vanity sets. Silver Crest production reached a peak in the 1960s. In 1969, they introduced the hand-painted line Violets in the Snow, followed by the Apple Blossom pattern. Both patterns were the creation of Fenton’s Louise Piper.

Currently, prices for the small bonbon dish are in the range of $15 to $25.
