Economy hitting elderly especially hard
Bankruptcies soar as retirees, agencies struggle to keep up with
rising costs

Bob Emily put in an honest day’s labor every day of his life.

“I worked for the railroad, for the town marshal, security, bars,
Sealy down here, UPS,” said Emily, 82, of Commerce City, Colo. “Worked
hard all my life until I got sick.”

Then the bills started piling up.

“Hospital bills built up,” said Emily, who didn’t have health
insurance. “I had to get loans to take care of my bills. Then I was
getting behind on the loans.”
