Protecting Seniors

Our seniors have paid into Social Security and Medicare their entire lives – we have a responsibility to protect the benefits they have earned and deserve.

I will stand up to anyone and work with anyone to protect Social Security and Medicare, lower health care costs, and expand access to long term care. I am proud to fight for New Hampshire seniors in Congress.

Protecting Social Security and Medicare. The benefits our seniors have paid for and earned are not a political bargaining chip. I will always stand up to those who want to cut Social Security and Medicare.

Lowering health care costs. For too long, seniors have been taken advantage of at the pharmacy counter. I fought to allow Medicare to negotiate lower prices, limit out-of-pocket costs, eliminate vaccine copays, and cap insulin to $35/month for those on Medicare. I will continue working to expand these benefits and lower health care costs across the board.

Expanding access to long term care. After caring for my mom while she lived with Alzheimer’s, I know how important long term care is to New Hampshire families. When older Americans can age in comfort and with dignity, our communities are more vibrant. I founded the Bipartisan 21st Century Long Term Care Caucus to expand access to these resources and work to ensure they are accessible and affordable for every family who needs them.
