FACES OF RETIREES
As a part of this new series "Faces of Retirees", individual stories are periodically highlighted
We want you to meet a few retirees that this plan is going to impact financially. We want you to hear their voices and see their faces.
Their stories are the hardest to hear knowing what the city is trying to do. How do you explain to 80 and 90 year olds on fixed incomes and the most vulnerable, that they will now be forced to pay ~$200-~$400 a month plus an additional amount for their prescriptions? This is unprecedented for NYC municipal retirees.
