Jun 20, 2018 Securities and Exchange Commission To the and Exchange Commission, Because of a completely unforeseen brain injury, I was forced into an early retirement. Fortunately, my employer at the time had a good disability insurance policy, which allows me to live comfortably. But not everyone has access to that. At least one of my old employers -- a small weekly newspaper in Maryland -- is reported to have done away with the health insurance it used to provide. I thank God that I got away and found a decent job before my aneurysm, because heaven only knows what would have happened to me otherwise. I also receive Social Security Disability payments, which go straight to my savings accounts. Not everyone can afford savings accounts. That old job I mentioned? They probably would have shrugged and cut me off had I suffered my brain injury while I was working there. I'm counting on you to make a stronger rule that closes the loophole. Americans who've worked hard to save for retirement deserve peace of mind about their financial security. Sincerely, Ms. Kathryn Burns
