Issue Position: Caring for Aging Nebraskans

Issue Position

There is nothing more important to our senior citizens, and those who will be retiring soon, than Social Security and Medicare. Hard-working Nebraskans deserve to retire at a reasonable age and collect the benefits they've faithfully paid into for decades.

Social Security can last--but only if it's properly taken care of. Jane will fight for Social Security reform, and fight against reductions in benefits, so we can keep our promise to seniors who have worked hard and played by the rules.

Medicare is a lifeline for so many Nebraskans, and we must fight to protect it. As the cost of health insurance and health care rises, seniors are particularly impacted--more can be done to help those who have contributed to the program and earned their benefits. Slashing funding for Medicare is the last thing Nebraskans need.
