8. My husband is a retired teacher too

He gets a pension too and State Teachers Retirement picks up part of his Medicare premiums. …. although we are far from wealthy, we can live on his pension. I get attitude from some people over teachers getting retirement paid by the taxpayers. These are the people who work for private businesses and then claim “I can’t afford to retire! I’ll have to work until I drop dead!” And then they bash union employees as lazy and greedy. My answer is always, you should have worked for a union.
