Issue Position: ENTITLEMENT REFORM

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Senior Citizens Unemployed and Low-Income Entitlements and the Safety Net Health Insurance

Dan is running ON entitlement reform, not away from it. Medicaid and other welfare programs should be pushed back to the states. If we are going to have a welfare program at all, it should administered at a state level. Unlike Medicaid, which is a pure entitlement program, Social Security and Medicare are programs that must be reformed while honoring our commitments to those who have paid into the system for decades and who have planned their future around them. We must keep our promises to our seniors while creating a different deal for those who still have time to adjust.
