13. Only for "families," right?

Single adults with no children will be screwed over again.

WHEN will politicians and 'experts" understand the most vulnerable people in our economy are never-married women over 65? And no, they shouldn't have to get married to be able to eat, for what people are suggesting there is women prostitute themselves.

It is VERY expensive for single people to make it on their own. We don't get any discounts.

There are already MANY avenues available for "families." There are few for impoverished single adults.
