Katherine Clark on Social Security |
As a legislator, Katherine has championed efforts to help seniors who wish to stay in their homes get the care and the services they need to keep them safe. In addition, she has fought for funding for senior centers and for keeping public transportation accessible and affordable.
Cutting Social Security benefits, raising the retirement age, or ending the guaranteed benefits through privatization is unacceptable. We should be focused on helping seniors supplement Social Security to ensure a secure retirement, not cutting the modest benefit Social Security provides.
Katherine strongly opposes the extremist Republican plan to end Medicare as we know it and increase health care costs for seniors by thousands of dollars a year. We need to go after rising costs--not go back on our promises.
