Senior Citizen Issues
As you are well aware, seniors in this nation often face difficult
financial decisions even though they worked hard all their lives. From
working to protect social security to fighting for quality health care,
prescription drug coverage and housing for the elderly, Congressman Baca is
committed to making sure that seniors have the financial and medical
resources to enjoy their golden years.
Medicare
Congressman Baca is deeply committed to providing our seniors with a
meaningful drug prescription plan. It is an outrage that millions of
America's senior citizens are being forced into poverty because of
exorbitant prices for prescription drugs. Congressman Baca supports a
prescription drug plan that will make prescription drugs affordable for our
seniors, so they will not have to choose between food and life saving
medicine. He does not support a plan that would privatize Medicare or leave
a gap in coverage, where seniors would be forced to pay a premium without
receiving benefits. Congress cannot allow the pain and suffering of
America's elderly and uninsured to continue.
Social Security
Congressman Baca is strongly against the privatization of Social
Security. Seniors have worked hard all their days and paid into the system.
Putting their hard-earned money in the stock market jeopardizes their
future. Congressman Baca cares too deeply about the welfare of our seniors
to put their livelihoods at risk.
