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.
