Social Security & Medicare
Social Security and Medicare are essential programs for American seniors. I believe we must protect the benefits that today’s beneficiaries receive along with the benefits of those nearing eligibility. We also need to protect Social Security and Medicare for future generations that will rely on these programs. As we go forward with solutions, I believe we need to focus on incremental program changes to future recipients now aged 55 and under. This ensures benefits will be available to them when they reach enrollment age, while at the same time, keeps the promise to those currently relying on the retirement income and Medicare coverage. It is imperative we make changes now. The longer we wait to address the issue, the more severe the eventual remedy will become. I am committed to finding the right path that protects these valuable programs not only for our seniors now enjoying these benefits but for the generations that follow them.
