SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE
Social Security and Medicare benefits are on the ballot this November.
Make no mistake: your Social Security and Medicare benefits are at risk of being eliminated if the Republicans regain control of Congress. At this point, they’re not even trying to hide it.
Did you know…
….that GOP Republicans in Washington have released a budget proposal that massively slashes Social Security benefits?
Other Republican Senators — including Mitch McConnell — have been more subtle, suggesting Congress be required to “reauthorize” Social Security every 5 years, undermining the Social Security guarantee and giving Republicans enormous leverage to make draconian cuts even when they are not in control of the Senate.
US Senate candidate Don Bolduc wants to end Social Security and Medicare benefits as they exist today and believes “privatization” should be on the table.
Senator Hassan and Rep. Pappas strongly oppose privatization and are committed to protecting both programs.
Cuts to Medicare would jeopardize New Hampshire’s 307,000 Medicare recipients. They made up roughly one-quarter of the state’s population in 2020, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, while NH Social Security recipients totaled 321,000 as of last year. Democrats will strengthen and protect our earned benefits.
