About Social Security and Medicare
As the daughter of a public school teacher and local newspaperman, I don't have to look far to see a generation of Michiganders who worked a lifetime paying into Social Security and Medicare expecting the benefits to be there when they needed them. We have to live up to that promise.
In Congress, I'll be proud to:
1
Oppose privatization of Social Security.
2
Fight against efforts to cut benefits or raise the retirement age.
3
Support efforts to increase efficiency and crack down on fraud, waste and abuse.
4
Support giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower prescription drug prices.
5
Fight efforts to turn Medicare into a voucher program.
