Could you please make the font a little larger for those of us whose eyes are older than our hearts?

  You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here.

  I was thinking that perhaps those who designed the layout are significantly younger that I am…or at least their eyes are. 🙂
  
  It might also make it a bit easier to scan the Home page if the line spacing were less than the paragraph spacing. But again, with my old eyes, one line frequently blurs into the next.

    Ditto re small print not working for these "old eyes"
    
    Thanks for bringing that up, as I may have not done so, thinking it was “just me”.

    Not just you.
    
    The complaint was raised and ignored on JPR 2 also.
    3/4 of a century old eyes, cataracts and stiff lenses make the words a bit hard to make out sometimes.
    
    Adjusting the browser for larger fonts is just an unnecessary stop gap. I don’t have this problem on most other web sites I visit… And none I visit regularly.
    
    Also while I am on this subject, can the verbiage in the menu in the blue header at the top of the page be made white? It would help make the navigation a bit. A couple of font sizes bigger would help too.
    Putting the mouse over any button up there turns it red. Really? For me, it just disappears.

    Me and you, both.
    
    I would like to remind you that U.S. health insurance companies do not contribute anything to health care. They are only a PARASITIC middle man receiving an undeserved cut of "FREE MONEY".

  Could type be a tad darker?
  
  Not as bold as the header line in messages, just a little darker than it is now. A little more contrast is sometimes needed by the post-60 crowd.
  
  Thank you!

    And for those of us who are sneaking up on 60!
    
    I would add also – increase font size in the message and decrease in paragraph spacing. Seems to be a double space between lines without a paragraph break, and triple spacing when the enter key is used.
