Preserving and Strengthening Our Commitment to Seniors.

Steny Hoyer has never wavered in his commitment to protecting and preserving Social Security and Medicare for current and future generations of Americans. He strongly supported the Democratic budget plan for fiscal year 2005 because it would have allowed our nation to strengthen Social Security and Medicare, pay down the national debt, invest in crucial priorities such as education and national defense, and provide tax relief to hard-working Americans. He has consistently opposed Republican efforts to privatize Social Security. He strongly supported the Democratic plan for an affordable, comprehensive, and guaranteed prescription drug benefit for seniors under Medicare. He strongly opposed Republican Medicare legislation that provided an inadequate and confusing benefit, weakened Medicare's protections for many seniors, and failed to bring down the high price of prescription drugs.
