Seniors

Congress must do more to strengthen the financial and physical well-being for older Americans. I have been a champion for benefits and programs that older Americans rely on, and I strongly oppose any effort to undermine Social Security or Medicare.

That’s why I cosponsored the Social Security Fairness Act that repeals provisions of law that reduce or eliminate benefits for some Americans who have devoted their careers to public service.

Medicare must also be modernized to ensure its success for future generations. I support proposals to close loopholes that allow the wealthiest Americans to avoid paying their fair share in taxes, which will keep Medicare funded for decades into the future.

Modernizing these programs will lead to significant improvements for older Americans. I am committed to protecting and bolstering these programs to ensure everyone can enjoy a healthy and financially secure retirement.
