I guess this is very political but here goes?
Did you find yourself looking at issues differently at retirement?
With health care becoming very important to me at retirement I began to listen closely to all the political wrangling of the recent debate.
I've mostly been a conservative type person during my working years and didn't particularly like give away programs. Now in light of how republicans turned away from every aspect of health care reform I found myself turning against most of what they said and did. I feel a little confused about my change of heart. Did any of you go through similar things when you retired? It seems very different for me to feel I need protection to get good health care benefits now that they are not available through my work place. It sure seems to make a difference with which side of the fence you suddenly find yourself on. I'm even considering changing the way I have voted most of my life.
Very different and strange territory for me. I hope this thread goes over OK with the group, I'm just looking for thoughts/feed back.
What say you?
Steve
