In this June 22, 2016, photo, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gestures as she speaks during a rally in Raleigh, N.C. The nation’s framework for economic security and health care in retirement is financially unsustainable, but you wouldn’t know it from listening to the presidential candidates. Clinton has proposed expanding Social Security benefits for widows and family caregivers, as well as making upper-income earners pay more to support the program. She may have to go further, since liberals, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, are pressing for expanded benefits. President Barack Obama also wants to do more. (AP Photo/Chuck Burton)
