Jared knows that Social Security and Medicare are promises that must be kept. That's why he strongly supports protecting and strengthening these programs. Jared has:

Promised to protect Social Security and increase benefits so that no senior retires in poverty.
Signed onto legislation to repeal the Windfall Elimination Program and Government Pension Offset, poorly-designed calculations that unfairly reduce Maine retirees' Social Security benefits.
Fought to lower prescription drug costs for seniors by proposing a cap on out-of-pocket Medicare part D costs and introducing legislation that would punish drug companies for excessive price hikes.
Signed onto legislation that has become law to extend the Health Coverage Tax Credit which will help retirees in places like Madawaska.
