Wealthy and middle-class baby boomers can expect to live substantially longer than their parents' generation. Meanwhile, life expectancy for the poor hasn't increased and may even be declining, according to a report published Thursday by several leading economists. Call it a growing inequality of death — and it means that the poor ultimately may collect less in money from some of the government's safety net programs than the rich.
As of 2010, the average, upper-income 50-year-old man was expected to live to 89. But the same man, if he's lower income, would live to just 76, according to the report.
https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=
&w=1484
The corresponding life expectancies among women are 92 and 78 years of age.
https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=
&w=1484
The authors considered the effect of these shifts on the federal budget and the full range of entitlements. As their years lengthen, the rich will benefit more from Social Security, a program intended to help protect the poor from poverty in old age. Economists and public health experts have long known that while the U.S. life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century, more affluent Americans have been dying later. The new report, ordered by Congress and published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, attempts to project those trends into the future. How long can the boomers alive today expect to draw checks from Social Security?
Peter Orszag, one of the chairmen of the committee that wrote the report and a former senior official in the Obama administration, said he was surprised by the differences among this group by income. "The bottom of the socioeconomic distribution isn't experiencing any material increase in life expectancy," he told Wonkblog.
Those disparities are partly due to the varying lifestyles of the rich and poor, who are more likely to be obese and to smoke cigarettes. More affluent Americans have quit smoking en masse over the past few decades, but the poor have not. If more of them give up the habit in the future, some could live longer. Yet factors such as obesity and tobacco use account for less than a third of the gap in life expectancy, according to the report. Maybe the gap is due to stress, or maybe it develops during early childhood or even before birth. Researchers haven't identified the causes with precision, but whatever they are, these trends have important consequences for those who rely on federal entitlements.
The government can expect to spend about the same amount on men born in 1930 regardless of their incomes, the report found. Richer beneficiaries live longer and cash more generous checks from Social Security. Poorer beneficiaries rely more on programs such as Medicaid and disability insurance, in part because they aren't as healthy. Among Americans born 30 years later, the government will spend substantially more on the richest Americans. In that group, the benefits each man will receive over his lifetime were worth an average of $522,000 in 2010. In the poorest group, that figure was just $391,000. (These numbers don't account for the larger share of taxes paid by the most affluent.)
The report also discusses raising the retirement age for Social Security, an idea advocated by several Republican candidates for president. Raising the normal retirement age by three years, from 67 to 70, would reduce the value in 2010 of lifetime Social Security benefits for the wealthiest group of 50-year-olds from $295,000 to $236,000, a decrease of 20 percent. For the poorest group, benefits would decrease from $122,000 to $92,000, a reduction of 24.6 percent. Since the poorer group can't expect to live as long, forcing them to wait to begin drawing their benefits in full would eliminate a larger portion of their retirement.
Eugene Steuerle, an economist at the nonpartisan Urban Institute who was not involved in the report, argued that policymakers should consider raising the retirement age all the same. There are cheaper ways of helping workers in jobs that don't pay well, he said. Congress could ensure a meaningful minimum benefit for them when they retire. Or lawmakers could reduce their taxes. All workers pay taxes, even if some — especially those who are making less money — don't live many years into retirement. "The issue with the retirement age is: How do we get enough workers in our society to support the benefits we want?" Steuerle said.

"It's a common refrain to say, 'Life expectancy is increasing, so we should raise the normal retirement age under Social Security,' " said Orszag, now a vice chairman at Citigroup. "The problem with that is, it's true that average life expectancy is increasing, but that's disproportionately because high earners' life expectancies are increasing."

http://www.wxyz.com/news/yankees-hall-of-fame-catcher-yogi-berra-dies-at-90
Yogi Berra, the Hall of Fame catcher renowned as much for his dizzying malapropisms as his record 10 World Series championships with the New York Yankees, has died. He was 90.
Berra died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in New Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum.
"While we mourn the loss of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, we know he is at peace with Mom," Berra's family said in a statement released by the museum. "We celebrate his remarkable life, and are thankful he meant so much to so many. He will truly be missed."
Short, squat and with a homely mug, Berra was a legendary Yankee who helped the team reach 14 World Series during his 18 seasons in the Bronx.
Berra played in more World Series games than any other major leaguer, and was a three-time American League Most Valuable Player.
But his name appears almost as often in Bartlett's Famous Quotations as it does in baseball's record book.
"It ain't over `til it's over" is among eight "Yogi-isms" included in Bartlett's.
"When I'm sittin' down to dinner with the family, stuff just pops out. And they'll say, `Dad, you just said another one.' And I don't even know what the heck I said," Berra insisted.
Berra played for the Yankees from 1949-65. His teammates included fellow Hall of Famers Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford.
In 1956, he caught the only perfect game in World Series history and after the last out leaped into pitcher Don Larsen's arms. The famous moment was captured in photographs published in newspapers around the world.
After his playing days, Berra coached or managed the Yankees, New York Mets and Houston Astros. He led both the Yankees and Mets to pennants.
In 1985, his firing as manager by the Yankees 16 games into the season sparked a feud with George Steinbrenner. Berra vowed never to return to Yankee Stadium as long was Steinbrenner owned the team.
But in 1999, Berra finally relented, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch of the Yankees' season-opening game.
Berra, the son of Italian immigrants, got his nickname while growing up in St. Louis. Among his amateur baseball teammates was Jack McGuire, another future big leaguer.
"Some of us went to a movie with a yogi in it and afterwards Jack began calling me Yogi. It stuck," Berra told the Saturday Evening Post.
He was a fan favorite, especially with children, and the cartoon character Yogi Bear was named after him.
Berra, who played in 15 straight All-Star Games, never earned more than $65,000 a season.
Growing up, he was anything but a natural.
Chunky and slow, Berra was rejected by his hometown St. Louis Cardinals after a tryout in 1943. But a Yankee scout recognized his potential and signed him.
He reached the majors late in the 1946 season and homered in his first at-bat. The next year, he continued to hit well, but his throwing was so erratic he was shifted to the outfield, then benched.
His breakthrough season came in 1948, when he hit .315 with 14 homers and 98 RBIs while continuing to improve his fielding. In 1949, he compiled a .989 fielding percentage and did not make an error in the All-Star Game or World Series.
"I don't care who the hitter is," New York manager Casey Stengel told the New York Journal-American. "
Berra) knows just how he should be pitched to."
Berra was AL MVP in 1951, 1954 and 1955. He holds World Series records for most hits (71) and most games (75).
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972.
"You never think of that when you're a kid," Berra said. "But egads, you gotta be somethin' to get in."
Among his boyhood friends was Joe Garagiola, who went on to a career as a major league player and broadcaster. In rejecting Berra at the 1943 tryout, the Cardinals signed Garagiola, another catcher, instead.
Lawrence Peter Berra was born in St. Louis on May 12, 1925, the son of Pietro, a laborer in a brickyard, and Pauline Berra. He grew up in "The Hill," or Italian district, with three older brothers and a younger sister.
Berra was forced to drop out of school in the eighth grade and go to work to help support his family. He took jobs in a coal yard, as a truck driver and in a shoe factory.
He continued to play amateur baseball, which brought him to the attention of major league scouts.
In 1943, his first professional season with the Yankees' farm team in Norfolk, Va., was interrupted by World War II.
He joined the Navy and later served on a gunboat supporting the D-Day invasion.
Berra married his wife, Carmen, in 1949. The couple, who met in their native St. Louis, had three sons, including Dale Berra, who played in the major leagues as an infielder.
Berra published three books: his autobiography in 1961, "It Ain't Over ..." in 1989 and "The Yogi Book: I Really Didn't Say Everything I Said" in 1998. The last made The New York Times' best seller list.
In 1996, Berra was awarded an honorary doctorate from the state university in Montclair, N.J., where he and his family lived. The university also named its baseball stadium for Berra. The adjoining Yogi Berra Museum opened in 1998.
The museum houses Berra memorabilia, including what he said was his most prized possession, the mitt he used to catch Larsen's perfect game.
He tickled TV viewers in recent years by bringing his malapropisms to a commercial with the AFLAC duck. ("They give you cash, which is just as good as money."
His wife once asked Berra where he wanted to be buried, in St. Louis, New York or Montclair.
"I don't know," he said. "Why don't you surprise me?"
RIP, ALL-STAR
