Social security and Medicare are always topics of discussion by healthcare administrators, physicians, advisors and related financial executives.
Investing Off the Radar Screen

Financial writer Jim Jubak, who is not formally an economist or even involved in healthcare, brought this up in his web column recently. His specific question, sent in by a reader, was a good one: Why isn’t anyone talking about putting Social Security money into stocks now that they’re down 40% from their October 2007 highs?
