Issue Position: Fighting for South Dakota Seniors

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Senior Citizens Entitlements and the Safety Net

Medicare
Both my grandmother and my mom are on Medicare and I know how important it is to them and their way of life. I've heard similar stories from folks across South Dakota too, which is why I would not support any changes to Medicare for those at or near retirement. Still, I understand the financial realities of this program. We have a responsibility to take a look at the program and figure out ways to strengthen it for future generations.

Social Security
South Dakota seniors have put in a lifetime of hard work. They have paid into the system and we have the responsibility to make sure their retirement safety net is there as promised.
