Congress has its best chance to boost #SocialSecurity by passing Rep. John Larson’s Social Security 2100 bill. It’s time for better benefits for seniors and an improved #COLA formula.

Too many seniors have to ration or simply not fill their #prescriptiondrugs because of high costs. Congress must deliver much-needed legislation to lower prescription drug prices! https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/08/opinion/us-drug-prices-congress.html

Isn't this rich? Senator Rick Scott's plan for raising #taxes on average Americans if the GOP wins control of Congress would hit folks in red states the hardest. https://itep.org/state-by-state-estimates-of-sen-rick-scotts-skin-in-the-game-proposal/

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we re-commit ourselves to women's retirement security. Despite the enormous contributions that women make to our economy, they lag behind men in retirement savings and collect (on average) lower #SocialSecurity benefits. #WHM https://www.ncpssm.org/eleanors-hope/

A huge majority of voters agree that #Medicare should be allowed to negotiate prescription drug prices. The #BuildBackBetter plan would take the first steps toward Medicare price negotiation. Congress should pass it!

On January 1st, #BigPharma raised the prices of more than 400 #prescriptiondrugs. Seniors on fixed incomes already can't afford their medications. Don’t cut pills, cut profits! https://www.ncpssm.org/campaigns/dont-cut-pills-cut-profits/

More evidence that #Medicare needs to be expanded. Seniors should not be going into debt paying for health care. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2021-12-15/many-seniors-on-medicare-falling-into-medical-debt #expandmedicare

President Biden signed his #infrastructure plan into law yesterday. Seniors will benefit because they rely on public transportation and broadband, too! Not only that... infrastructure jobs will boost #SocialSecurity. https://www.ncpssm.org/entitledtoknow/biden-signs-bipartisan-infrastructure-plan-seniors-will-benefit/ #InfrastructureBill

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a plea for expanding Social Security benefits on Tuesday... in support of Rep. John Larson's Social Security 2100: A Sacred Trust bill.

Billionaires got richer during the pandemic, while many Americans struggled. It's only fair that they pay as much in taxes as we do. That's why we support the #BuildBackBetter plan to strengthen the social safety net. It's time to #RebuildTheMiddleClass! https://www.ncpssm.org/campaigns/rebuild-the-middle-class/

Seniors can definitely use the (average) $92 extra in their monthly Social Security checks next year. But for some, that will barely make a dent as they struggle to pay bills. #cola #socialsecurity https://www.ncpssm.org/entitledtoknow/social-security-cola-is-welcome-news-but-seniors-need-bigger-benefits/
