113th Congress > Petition

Petition to the Leadership of the 113th Congress of the United States:

Protect Social Security and Medicare!

Whereas, tens of millions of Americans rely on Social Security and Medicare and have paid into our social insurance system during their entire working lives; and

Whereas, Social Security and Medicare face unprecedented challenges brought on by an unresolved debt crisis, specifically:

Plans and policies to cut Social Security benefits in order to balance the federal budget;

Threats of reducing the Social Security COLA, much of which is already consumed by beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket Medicare costs; and

An agenda to fundamentally change the Medicare program by raising the eligibility age and privatizing earned benefits.

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the 113^th Congress preserve and improve traditional Social Security and Medicare benefits for Americans of all ages; and

Be It Further Resolved that Social Security and Medicare be protected from proposals that would cut benefits and shift costs to seniors.
