Sen. Rick Scott Reintroduces Protect Our Seniors Act to Preserve Social Security and Medicare |
|
| Senator Rick Scott announced the reintroduction of his Protect Our Seniors Act to preserve and protect Social Security and Medicare. After four years of the Biden-Harris administration fueling inflation with reckless policies that pushed Social Security and Medicare closer to insolvency, Senator Scott’s bill will help protect the benefits of these important programs for those who depend on them. Senator Rick Scott said: “As Florida’s U.S. Senator and the Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, preserving the benefits of Social Security and Medicare is one of my top priorities. So many Floridians depend on these programs, and after four long years of Joe Biden’s reckless policies and high inflation pushing them closer to insolvency, we must take action to protect them and keep our promises to beneficiaries. My bill, the Protect Our Seniors Act, will safeguard the benefits of these critical entitlements by 1) establishing a rule to prevent cuts to Medicare and Social Security, and 2) ensuring that any savings to the Medicare program stay in the Medicare program. I’ll be working closely with my colleagues on the Committee and President Trump to get this bill passed, grow our economy to improve the long-term health of Social Security and Medicare and make Washington work better for our seniors. Together with President Trump, we can bring our nation into its golden age for all Americans, including those enjoying their golden years of life.” Senator Scott’s Protect Our Seniors Act includes key provisions to protect the benefits of Social Security and Medicare and promote the long-term solvency of these critical programs:

Read more on Chairman Scott’s SENIOR Act in Florida Politics, as reported by A.G. Gancarski: “Older people are often neglected in their twilight years, and Florida’s senior Senator sees a federal role in making sure they aren’t. “Florida is blessed to have a wonderful senior population, and in my state and across the nation, seniors contribute greatly when given opportunities to be active members in their communities. Combating the feeling of isolation and loneliness for our aging community has endless benefits – from better mental and physical health to stronger, multigenerational relationships with families and communities. As Chairman of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, I’m proud to lead this bill and fight to better support American seniors,’ Scott said Friday.” Read the full article from Florida Politics HERE.
