Remarks by President Biden on Social Security and Medicare
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Jan. 29, 2023
|
Tweet - "Americans have paid into their Social Security and Medicare every single paycheck since they were 16 years old. I'm strengthening those programs. And if a piece of legislation lands on my desk that wants to gut them, I'll veto it."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Jan. 25, 2023
|
Tweet - "If Republicans try to cut Social Security or Medicare, I will use my veto pen to stop it."

Remarks by President Biden on Protecting Social Security and Medicare and Lowering Prescription Drug Costs
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Nov. 1, 2022
|
Tweet - "Congressional Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare. They're even saying they'll shut down the government and let America default on its debts if we won't cooperate with the cuts. Talk about irresponsible."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 29, 2022
|
Tweet - "I will never cut Medicare or Social Security. You have my word. Republicans in Congress have made it clear they will hold the economy hostage if we don't agree to their cuts to Medicare and Social Security. You should take them at their word."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 14, 2022
|
Tweet - "Good news: Our nation's seniors will see their monthly social security payments increase an average of $140, and their Medicare premiums go down. We're committed to lowering costs and this will provide a little extra breathing room for millions of Americans."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| Oct. 13, 2022
|
Tweet - "Today, Social Security recipients learned their checks are increasing an average of $140, meaning for the first time in a decade, Medicare premiums will decrease as Social Security checks increase. This helps seniors get ahead of inflation with a little extra breathing room."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 11, 2022
|
Tweet - "158 House Republicans have signed on to a Republican budget that would cut Social Security and Medicare. I have a different idea: I'll protect Social Security and Medicare and make them stronger."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 13, 2022
|
Tweet - "Couldn't agree more, Rick. And if anyone else wants to read your plan to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block, they should go to http://joebiden.com/rickscottsplan. Thanks for stopping by."

Statement by President Joe Biden on the Outlook for the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 21, 2022
|
Tweet - "Today I signed the Access to Baby Formula Act of 2022. This allows for certain program requirements in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children to be waived so people can more easily access the infant formula that they need."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 30, 2021
|
Tweet - "Medicare and Medicaid turn 56 today. Thanks to these lifesaving programs, 140 million Americans have health insurance. And my Build Back Better Agenda will add to that by expanding Medicare benefits, reducing prescription drug costs, and closing the Medicaid coverage gap."
