COFFEE BREAK 280

+ Spirituality and Practice offers "Stop the Granny Bashing" by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat.

Excerpt 1: "Less than one-third of Americans know that low-income elders now pay 25 % of their incomes for health care out-of-pocket, despite having Medicare."

Excerpt 2: "Only one in five knew that nearly 6 million older Americans are at risk of going hungry."

Excerpt 3: "The way a society takes care of its oldest members is a sign of its moral worth. Right now, things are looking bad for both senior citizens and America."
