Seniors

Whether it’s the solvency of Social Security, the availability of supportive housing, or the increasing costs of prescription drugs, our seniors face many challenges. I believe that after a lifetime of hard work, our seniors should be able to retire and live with dignity. I have supported efforts to protect and expand Social Security to ensure that our seniors who have paid into this program for years have financial security. I also supported cost of living increases for Social Security benefits under Old-Age, Survivors, or Disability Insurance that reflect the costs of goods that seniors are more likely to spend their income on in order to ensure the COLA actually matches the costs seniors face. Furthermore, I supported legislation to expand Medicare coverage to include additional exams, treatments, and medical devices for seniors so that seniors can receive the preventative and necessary care they need to live healthy lives.
