Dignified Retirement For Every Senior
Honoring Our Promise to America's Seniors
Honoring Our Promise: A Dignified Retirement for Every Senior. Our seniors spent their lives working hard, paying taxes, raising families, and building the communities we call home. A secure and dignified retirement isn't a luxury, and it certainly isn't a handout, it is a fundamental promise we made to the working class.
But right now, rising costs and out-of-touch politicians are threatening the security our seniors have earned. John Paul is ready to go to Washington to fiercely protect the programs our seniors rely on and ensure that no one has to choose between buying groceries and filling their life-saving prescriptions.
Here is where John Paul stands on the issues that matter most to seniors:
Protecting and Expanding Social Security: Social Security is a lifeline, not a piggy bank for Wall Street. John Paul will fight against any attempts to cut benefits, privatize the system, or raise the retirement age. He supports strengthening the program by making sure the ultra-wealthy finally pay their fair share into the system, ensuring Social Security is fully funded for generations to come.
Strengthening Medicare & Lowering Drug Prices: Healthcare is a human right, especially as we age. John Paul supports expanding Medicare to finally include comprehensive dental, vision, and hearing coverage. He will also stand up to Big Pharma to aggressively expand Medicare's power to negotiate prescription drug prices and cap out-of-pocket costs so seniors aren't price-gouged on the medicine they need to survive.
Supporting Aging in Place & Caregivers: Every senior deserves the right to age with dignity in their own home. John Paul will advocate for expanded funding for home and community-based care services, making it easier for seniors to stay in their neighborhoods. He will also fight for policies that provide financial relief and support for the family members who act as full-time caregivers.
Protecting Pensions: A promise made must be a promise kept. John Paul will stand strong with labor and retirees to fiercely protect multi-employer pensions from corporate bankruptcy loopholes and cuts.
You worked hard your entire life to build this country. John Paul is ready to fight in Congress to make sure this country works for you in your retirement.
