Negotiate Medicare Rx Prices, Senator Hirono

Dear Senator Hirono,

As one of your constituents and as an AARP member, I urge you to oppose the TRUST Act, which is being considered on Capitol Hill. The TRUST Act will unfairly target Social Security and put at risk the benefits we have paid for through years of hard work. You must protect and strengthen Social Security, Medicare and other programs that are vital to Americans 50+. We must also ensure that everyone, especially Americans 50+, have access to FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines.  And we must also lower out-of-control prescription drug prices and ensure the preservation and improvement of the Affordable Care Act. Moving forward, I urge you to act on behalf of your older constituents.

Sincerely,

Dear Senator Hirono,

As one of your constituents and as an AARP member, I urge you to oppose the TRUST Act, which is being considered on Capitol Hill. The TRUST Act will unfairly target Social Security and put at risk the benefits we have paid for through years of hard work. You must protect and strengthen Social Security, Medicare, and other programs that are vital to Americans 50+. We must also ensure that everyone, especially older Americans, has ready access to coronavirus vaccinations, lower out-of-control prescription drug prices and preserve and improve the Affordable Care Act. I urge you to act on behalf of your older constituents.

Sincerely,

Dear Senator Hirono,

As one of your constituents and as an AARP member, I urge you to fully consider the needs of Americans 50+, like me, as you determine how to address the coronavirus and its consequences. These difficult times further highlight the need to protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare, and that’s why the TRUST Act must be defeated. We also must ensure that everyone has easy access to safe and free COVID-19 vaccines. Nursing homes and long-term care facilities need the resources to protect the lives and health of their residents. And too many Americans 50+ are hungry and require access to adequate nutrition. I also ask that you preserve and improve the Affordable Care Act and lower the price of prescription drugs. As we proceed, I urge you to act on behalf of your constituents.

Dear Senator Hirono,

As one of your constituents and as an AARP member, I urge you to oppose the TRUST Act, which is being considered on Capitol Hill. The TRUST Act will unfairly target the Social Security and Medicare benefits we have earned through a lifetime of hard work. These programs have proven more important than ever during the pandemic, and they must be protected and strengthened for current and future generations. I also urge you to lower out-of-control prescription drug prices, and to support the Credit for Caring Act, which will provide tax credits to family caregivers.

SIncerely,

Dear Senator Hirono,

As one of your constituents, I urge you to use your authority to protect my Social Security and Medicare benefits. You should oppose the TRUST Act, which poses an immediate threat by empowering a small number of lawmakers to propose benefit cuts with little transparency. And you must take action sooner rather than later to ensure that the long-term health of Social Security and Medicare will be protected, along with the benefits I have worked so hard to attain. I also urge you to support AARP and its efforts to lower prescription drug prices and to provide a tax credit to help family caregivers. My retirement security is under threat, and as one of my elected leaders in Washington, D.C., you should act in my interests regarding these vital issues.

Sincerely, 

Dear Senator Hirono,

Dear Senator Hirono,

As one of your constituents and as an AARP member, I urge you to protect Social Security benefits by defeating the TRUST Act, and taking action to preserve and strengthen Social Security for the long-term. Older Americans cannot afford a 24% cut in their benefits – any cut. I also urge you to protect Medicare benefits, to take action to lower the price of prescription drugs, and to support the Credit for Caring Act, which will provide a tax credit to family caregivers.

Sincerely,

Dear Senator Hirono,

If no action is taken by 2035, Social Security is projected to have insufficient funding to pay out 100% of benefits. That means future retirees could lose more than 20% of their earned benefits. In addition, Social Security benefits face a new risk in the form of the TRUST Act currently pending in Congress. As one of your constituents and as an AARP member, I urge you to take action to protect and strengthen Social Security for current and future beneficiaries. I also urge you to protect Medicare benefits, lower out-of-control prescription drug prices, and support the Credit for Caring Act, which will provide a tax credit for family caregivers.

Sincerely,
