~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From the Raging Grannies (heard at a recent Social Security Rally)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes, it is just better in song (to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic)...
We've reached the age of 65, our golden years are here.
They tell that the age begins a happy new career.
For now our Uncle Sam becomes our permanent cashier.
As we go marching on.
Chorus: Holy Moley, it's our MON-ey (3x), We paid when we were young!
And when each month a check arrives, we're happy it's being sent.
Enough to buy a BIT of food and maybe pay the rent.
And after that some folks are broke and left without a cent.
But they go bravely on.
Chorus: Holy Moley it's our MONey (3x), We paid when we were young!
The issue of preserving Social Security will be "on the agenda" for the next Elder Economic Security Forum (see above). |

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CPMC Master Plans Head to Planning Commission
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 California Pacific Medical Center's (CPMC) whole long range development plan to centralize its facilities in the Cathedral Hill area will come before the city's Planning Commission in City Hall, room 400. While there have been lots of issues raise in the process of developing this plan, including the impact on St. Luke's hospital and neighborhood's St. Francis Hospital which serves a high proportion of low income patients. One particular concern is a proposed reduction of 180 skilled nursing beds which allow patients to receive additional rehabilitation and medical services before returning home. When this issue was raised at public meetings, CPMC committed to replace the 180 Skilled Nursing Beds with a comparable alternative, but advocates report no enforceable plan has been presented to date. Interested? Come to the hearing or watch this issue on the Thursday, September 23, 1:30 p.m., City Hall Room 400. |
