Issue Position: Seniors

Issue Position

Every Senior that paid into Social Security and Medicare deserves the benefits they've earned.

One of my top priorities is working to strengthen Medicare and Social Security. Hardworking seniors who paid into Social Security and Medicare deserve retirement security and health care coverage.

I've sponsored legislation to allow the government to negotiate with drug companies to keep our costs in check while providing seniors with the life-saving medicines they need.

While Washington continues to vote to gut protections for people with pre-existing conditions, I've led the fight to protect Virginia's historic Medicaid expansion. Our focus should be lowering health care costs and the price of prescription drugs -- not taking health care away.
