Seniors

One of the most pressing issues facing the senior community today is the rising cost of prescription drugs. For this reason, I am an original cosponsor of the Democratic prescription drug Medicare coverage bill. This legislation will insure that Medicare is capable of alleviating the burden of prescription drug costs that our nation's seniors face, and also to cap the rising costs of the medications.

Similarly, I am an original cosponsor of a bill that would amend Title II of the Social Security Act to improve benefits for aged survivors, disabled survivors, and divorced spouses. As seniors live longer lives, their retirement savings can dwindle, and it is essential to provide assistance to our senior community in order for them to maintain and enjoy their retirement.
