Issue Position: Supporting Rhode Island's Seniors

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Senior Citizens Entitlements and the Safety Net

Rhode Island's seniors deserve representatives in Washington who will protect Medicare and Social Security. We know where Sheldon stands: he voted against the destructive Republican plan to end Medicare as we know it, which would raise prescription drug costs for 17,000 Rhode Island seniors. Because every little bit counts, Sheldon made sure legislation giving tax breaks to working Americans included support for seniors, too. And as a co-founder of the Defend Social Security Caucus, he will always fight against attempts to risk Social Security on Wall Street.
