Pete Stark: “Social Security has been there for Americans for 77 years. I hope we can continue to work to make it strong for another…”

The Republicans want to kill Social Security and Medicare and turn them into voucher systems.

we are not being asked to contribute anything to pay for that war. Lower income people maybe are.

I dislike the notion that we need to increase costs for beneficiaries in order to fix the physician payment system.

I am concerned about the proposals or any proposals that would shift costs to beneficiaries. Doing so I think would devastate them.
