You've Earned a Say in the Future of Medicare and Social Security
The long-term viability of Medicare and Social Security continue to be debated in Washington, and at the same time, the views of every day citizens continue to be overlooked.
The long-term viability of Medicare and Social Security continue to be debated in Washington, and at the same time, the views of every day citizens continue to be overlooked. Politicians are not the only people who have earned a right to debate the future of these bedrock American institutions, and that’s why AARP believes You’ve Earned a Say is so important. The individuals who have paid into these benefits have the right to speak their minds and to know, in clear and understandable language, what options, ideas, and plans are being discussed in Washington. AARP is working to ensure that all those who have earned their say have that say. This year, AARP has been listening to your opinions about the future of these two critical programs through surveys, local town hall meetings, and information forums, as well as through feedback collected on EarnedASay.org. The next step is to take your words, your views, and your personal testimonials to Washington. Survey results and comments collected throughout You’ve Earned a Say will be delivered to Congress so that they know when it comes to Social Security and Medicare you have a lot to say because You’ve Earned A Say!
