Young Americans: Pay Attention, Or Pay The Bills If you’re in your 20s or 30s, one of the biggest decisions affecting your life likely will be made this fall. It’s not whether to get married. Or to buy a house. Or even to have and educate children. But it’s a decision that could affect your ability to afford any or all of those things. That decision, which will be made by Congress, is whether or not to give senior citizens, regardless of income or need, a prescription-drug entitlement in Medicare. The House and Senate each have approved separate bills that...
