McGovern, Larson Host Worcester Town Hall on Social Security at the Worcester Senior Center
Senior House Democrats Discuss Plan to Protect Social Security for Seniors
TOMORROW – Monday, May 15 at 10 a.m…
… Congressmen Jim McGovern (D-MA) and John Larson (D-CT) will host a joint town hall to discuss their agenda to protect Social Security for seniors today and well into the future.
Β· WHAT: Congressional Town Hall on Protecting Social Security
Β· WHERE: Senior Center 128 Providence St, Worcester
Β· WHEN: Monday, May 15 at 10 AM β 12 PM
Β· WHO: Congressman Jim McGovern (D-MA), John Larson (D-CT)
In the wake of House Republicans passing the American Health Care Act, which would let insurance companies charge seniors up to five times more than younger patients β forcing seniors ages 60 and older to pay up to $17,900 more for healthcare … .
Congressmen McGovern and Larson will discuss their work to stop these dangerous price hikes for seniors and ensure they can enjoy their retirement in dignity.
The McGovern-Larson Proposal:
Β· Tax cut for those who pay taxes on their Social Security benefits
Β· $300 more per year for the typical retiree
Β· Improved cost of living adjustment
Additionally, the McGovern Larson Proposal would:
Β· Provide Greater Retirement Security for Women: Benefit increases that are targeted to women who, on average, live longer than men and receive lower benefits.
Β· Help Low-Income Americans: A minimum benefit to protect workers from falling into poverty in retirement.
Β· Help Elderly Americans: For someone retiring today, their benefits will be 5% greater at age 85 than they would be under the current system.
Β· Workers and Future Retirees: The assurance of knowing the system remains on strong footing and the guarantee that the Trust Fund will be able to meet benefit obligations beyond 2088.
