2023 was a big year fighting hard for Iowa’s retirees!
When the government created Medicare and Social Security, it made a commitment to Americans that must be fulfilled. I am 100% committed to protecting these critical programs.
That’s why I’ve introduced legislation to protect Medicare and Social Security while preventing Congress from using Iowan’s retirement savings as a partisan bargaining chip.
I’ll keep fighting to defend Medicare and Social Security while making it easier for Iowans to retire by:
- Leading legislation to expand Medicare and Social Security coverage, prevent cuts, and stop delays
- Cracking down on fraud targeting seniors by passing legislation to bring perpetrators to justice
- Maximizing retirement savings by introducing legislation to ensure returns are prioritized
- Strengthening Medicare by leading on legislation to expand coverage for cancer screenings.
- Expanding access to Medicare by supporting legislation to improve rural health coverage.
- Decreasing costs for prescription drugs by supporting bipartisan legislation to prevent price gouging.
- Ensuring access to care in rural areas by supporting legislation to improve rural broadband and support community hospitals.
- Improving timely access to care by introducing legislation to fix the nationwide nursing shortage.
- Making healthcare more affordable by championing legislation to expand the kinds of care paid for by Medicare.
