Seniors & Social Security
Congressman McGovern is a passionate advocate for seniors. He opposed President Bush’s plan to gamble Social Security in the stock market, and he led the fight to protect Medicare funding for home health care services so seniors can stay in their homes. He also voted to close the “donut hole” in the Medicare prescription drug benefit.
Going forward, the congressman is committed to ensuring that both Social Security and Medicare remain solvent and responsive to the needs of seniors.
