Issue Position: Preserving, Strengthening, and Reforming -- Medicare & Social Security

Issue Position

The passage of Obamacare has only exacerbated the already deeply weakened state of Medicare.

The Medicare Trustees have determined that without immediate action, Medicare will go broke by 2017. We can no longer afford to look the other way and allow Congress to kick the can down the road.

The passage of Obamacare has only exacerbated the already deeply weakened state of Medicare. That is why I will strongly support the complete repeal of Obamacare and work with leaders like Congressman Paul Ryan, to enact plans to preserve and strengthen Medicare for current and near-term retirees while providing flexibility to allow future generations to have this important safety net. Truly reforming Medicare means ensuring the program directly empowers people and their doctors to make medical decisions instead of the federal government.
