John,
Yesterday, I was proud to represent our movement at the White House for an event with Senator Bernie Sanders and President Joe Biden to celebrate the victories our movement delivered for the American people:
Because of the work of Social Security Works members over the past decade, Medicare will finally negotiate lower prescription drug prices, turning back the tide on Big Pharma greed that has consumed more and more of our Social Security checks every year.
Thanks to you, we capped out-of-pocket costs for seniors. We made sure that no one on Medicare will pay more than $35 each month for insulin―a benchmark that has expanded beyond Medicare to the public at large.
This is a historic victory for all Americans who have struggled with health care costs―and it’s only been possible because of you.
But victory is never final. What has been won can be taken away―and that’s exactly what will happen if Donald Trump returns to the White House.
Social Security Works is powered by our members―we are nothing without you. Can you make a $5 donation to power us through 2024, when everything will be on the line?
Already, Republicans in the House of Representatives have been trying to create a fast-tracked commission to cut Social Security and Medicare behind closed doors. Right-wing media has ramped up its false attacks on our earned benefits, trying to convince Americans that the problem with Social Security and Medicare is that they are too generous.
If Joe Biden wins re-election with a Democratic Congress, Medicare will negotiate lower prices on even more drugs, the out-of-pocket cap could expand beyond seniors, and we’d force Big Pharma to give rebates to consumers when they increase prices faster than inflation.
Stand with us to defend Social Security and Medicare. Become a member of Social Security Works today!
Thank you for your continued support,
Alex Lawson Social Security Works
