Include Older Americans in Health Care Improvements!
Target: US CongressSponsored by: AARP Foundation
While the House and Senate both stepped up by passing bills that strengthen the State Health Insurance Program for children last month, the Senate bill failed to address critical Medicare issues, particularly when it comes to lower-income senior citizens.
Encourage Congress to adopt Medicare improvements and stop leaving senior citizens behind.
As the conference committee meets to work out differences, the Senate and the House must be encouraged to pass a bill that includes a intergenerational health care package, taking steps toward affordable, quality care for all.
Medicare beneficiaries are being forced to bear the burden of a flawed health care system. Medicare premiums have more than doubled since the year 2000, while the system denies prescription drug help to those with modest lifetime savings.
Older Americans deserve better treatment and they shouldn't be punished for working hard and saving for retirement!

Senior citizens are a part of our families, a part of our lives, a part of our society, a part of our country. All citizens deserve free, quality universal health care - and this includes our seniors.
