02/09/2023 Remarks by President Biden on Social Security and Medicare
01/29/2023 Tweet - "Americans have paid into their Social Security and Medicare every single paycheck since they were 16 years old. I'm strengthening those programs. And if a piece of legislation lands on my desk that wants to gut them, I'll veto it."
01/25/2023 Tweet - "If Republicans try to cut Social Security or Medicare, I will use my veto pen to stop it."
11/01/2022 Tweet - "Congressional Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare. They're even saying they'll shut down the government and let America default on its debts if we won't cooperate with the cuts. Talk about irresponsible."
11/01/2022 Remarks by President Biden on Protecting Social Security and Medicare and Lowering Prescription Drug Costs
10/29/2022 Tweet - "I will never cut Medicare or Social Security. You have my word. Republicans in Congress have made it clear they will hold the economy hostage if we don't agree to their cuts to Medicare and Social Security. You should take them at their word."
10/13/2022 Tweet - "Today, Social Security recipients learned their checks are increasing an average of $140, meaning for the first time in a decade, Medicare premiums will decrease as Social Security checks increase. This helps seniors get ahead of inflation with a little extra breathing room."
10/11/2022 Tweet - "158 House Republicans have signed on to a Republican budget that would cut Social Security and Medicare. I have a different idea: I'll protect Social Security and Medicare and make them stronger."
09/13/2022 Tweet - "Couldn't agree more, Rick. And if anyone else wants to read your plan to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block, they should go to http://joebiden.com/rickscottsplan. Thanks for stopping by."
06/02/2022 Statement by President Joe Biden on the Outlook for the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds
05/21/2022 Tweet - "Today I signed the Access to Baby Formula Act of 2022. This allows for certain program requirements in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children to be waived so people can more easily access the infant formula that they need."
07/30/2021 Tweet - "Medicare and Medicaid turn 56 today. Thanks to these lifesaving programs, 140 million Americans have health insurance. And my Build Back Better Agenda will add to that by expanding Medicare benefits, reducing prescription drug costs, and closing the Medicaid coverage gap."
01/30/2021 Tweet - "$600 is simply not enough when you have to choose between paying your rent and putting food on the table. That's why my American Rescue Plan finishes the job of getting $2,000 to folks who need it most."
08/10/2020 Tweet - "Social Security is the bedrock of American retirement -- giving countless Americans peace of mind and the ability to retire with dignity. I've been fighting to protect and expand the program throughout my career -- and I'll continue that fight as president."
