Cal Cunningham:
Endorsed by National Committee to Preserve Social Security
Cal will oppose any effort to cut Medicare benefits, and allow big insurance companies to impose what the AARP calls an "age tax" on older North Carolinians that could cost them thousands of dollars more. Cal will also do everything he can to stop
the lawsuit pushed forward by Republicans that would dismantle the Affordable Care Act and its protections. Cal has been endorsed by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare for his commitment to protecting these vital programs.

Deborah Ross:
Government shouldn't cut nor privatize Social Security
Ross wants to expand and strengthen Social Security and Medicare. Ideas she stated included having wealthier people pay into the programs for a longer period of time, giving people better access to information and costs, and lowering prescription drug
prices. What the government shouldn't do, she said, is cut the programs and privatize them. "[They] are the safety nets for our seniors," Ross said. "We absolutely have to stabilize them and make sure they're available for generations to come."

Richard Hudson:
Reform the system for those my age and younger
Q: Do you support allowing individuals to divert a portion of their Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts? A: First, we must ensure the stability of Social Security and not change anything for anyone who is already retired or
near retirement age. Larry Kissell's policy on Social Security is to let it go bankrupt so everyone loses their benefits. I believe we need to reform the system for those my age and younger so we can save Social Security.
