Aarp on the front line to defend medicare

Staying Sharp: Support brain health as you age with these tips.

En español | There has been a lot of talk in recent weeks about Medicare, the program that 57 million Americans depend on to cover their health care needs.

During the campaign, President-elect Trump repeatedly pledged not to cut Medicare. Americans are counting on him to keep that promise, and we will fight hard to help him deliver on it.

But Congress matters, too. Some congressional leaders want to change Medicare in ways that would cut benefits and force seniors to pay more for their health care. Those plans would expose

seniors to rising health care costs and deprive them of the protection of guaranteed coverage.

It’s not right. It’s not what Americans want. And it will not stand.

I assure you: AARP will be on the front lines fighting to protect the Medicare promise all Americans have come to expect — and the benefits that they deserve.
