Thanks, Frank, for posting that link (at the bottom of page 5) this morning.
The one from yesterday's West Hawaii Today?
Some mighty dire statistics there.
"19 percent — one in five — Hawaii seniors live in poverty..."
“There are more people in Hawaii (in poverty) under that supplemental measurement than in most other states,”
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation report. Among other statistics about senior citizens AARP tracks, Matheis noted that 87 percent of Hawaii’s residents received Social Security benefits, and a large portion of those recipients rely on the federal payment for 90 percent or more of their annual income."
AARP official zeros in on Social Security, Medicare
