Dear Senator / Representative --

I am very concerned about the recent Congressional Budget Office report that the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A is on schedule to be entirely exhausted by 2040.

This Republican Administration significantly reduced the revenues the trust fund normally receives from taxing Social Security benefits in their budget bill from last year. This Republican budget both lowered tax rates and established a temporary deduction for taxpayers age 65 or older. And while voters like paying less in taxes, I don't think many people realized that cutting their taxes would entirely defund the Medicare safety net of critical future funding.

I want to hear your plan for keeping Medicare solvent.

How will you fix this?

I support sending IRS investigators to recoup taxes that the ultra-wealthy should be paying but don't. I support closing tax loopholes for corporations.

Please consult with Elizabeth Warren on all the possible places where this government could generate additional revenue, then make it happen.

"Deliberately reducing a person’s income and savings to qualify for Medicaid can sound daunting. But without planning, the high cost of long-term care can quickly drain savings anyway. Assisted living and nursing home care can cost thousands of dollars a month, often forcing families to exhaust their resources before qualifying for assistance."
