Default SS cola

An asute newspaper would report that the cola is based on inflation for the general public and not based on what seniors have to pay. For example health care. IMHO that's the scary part of SS colas....

Most seniors are on a fixed income. right? Does your pension have an escaltor cause based on inflation? With inflation rates the way they are one has to invest in the market where you have risk or take probably a bad deal with an annuity. Just my opinion...
