Issue Position: Seniors & Retirement Security

Issue Position

Eastern Connecticut's seniors face a number of challenges today, from rising costs for health care and day-to-day costs of living, to threats to their retirement security and peace of mind. I am fighting every day in Congress to support our seniors and retirees through efforts to strengthen programs like Social Security and Medicare, reduce their costs, strengthen and protect their benefits, and ensure they have the support they need.

That is why I am working to:

Protect critical benefits that seniors have paid into for their entire lifetime and depend on to make ends meet.

Ensure that older Americans have access to the health care they need, including preventative health screenings, lower cost prescription drugs and affordable long term care options.

Strengthening retiree savings to ensure that all Americans have the income security they need and deserve in their later years.
Are you a senior or retiree trying to access your benefits or frustrated with dealing with a federal agency? Have questions about how legislation under consideration in Congress will impact you? Please contact my Norwich District Office at (860) 886-0139 to let me know about the problem you are facing and how I might be able to help.
