Issue Position: Senior Care

Issue Position

Nanette's mom is a senior who relies upon Medicare as her only source of income and health coverage. Our seniors have given so much to make this country great and it's our responsibility to make sure America keeps the promise that was made to them. Whether it's through Medicare or Social Security, hardworking seniors who've paid in their entire lives deserve the security of knowing these programs will be there when they need them.

As a diabetic, Nanette's mom has had to choose between medication and groceries. No senior in America should have to make such a terrible choice. Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan and presidential candidate Jeb Bush, have suggested we cut benefits, gamble them on Wall Street and even dismantle these programs altogether. Instead, we need to strengthen and expand them, reduce fraud and waste and ensure everyone pays their fair share so these critical programs will be in place for years to come.
