NO CHANGES TO SOCIAL SECURITY OR MEDICARE
American Citizens would like to put Congress on notice that any changes made to Social Security or Medicare will result in political suicide for any member of Congress that supports such an act. Americans have paid for Social Security--it is not a gift from Congress! And without Medicare, healthcare would be unaffordable for older Americans.
Why is this important?
Social Security and Medicare are programs necessary for older Americans. Americans paid for their Social Security benefit. Congress is not giving us a gift! There is a very easy solution to fix S.S. permanently by simply raising the cap. Everyone should pay on 100% of their salaries. Furthermore, Social Security does not add one cent to the deficit! Medicare must remain as it is, because without it, older Americans will not be able to afford the Medicare premium with or without a voucher. There are no "for profit" insurance companies willing to insure older, sick Americans. These essential programs are necessary to insure America's older citizens do not have to live in poverty!
