Protecting Medicare and Social Security
Medicare and Social Security are under attack by some politicians in Washington who want to cut the deficit by eliminating Medicare and privatizing Social Security – instead of getting rid of subsidies and special tax breaks for oil companies, drug companies, millionaires and billionaires.
Debbie Stabenow is leading the charge to protect Medicare and Social Security. She voted to put the Social Security trust fund off-limits so politicians cannot use it to fund other programs. And Debbie is fighting to stop the Republican plan that would end Medicare and force seniors to pay thousands more for health insurance every year.
Debbie is leading the effort to lower the high cost of prescription drugs, and save the taxpayers billions of dollars, by allowing Medicare to use its purchasing power to negotiate better prices for seniors.
