Thompson Endorsed for Protecting Social Security & Medicare
The National Committee to Preserve Social Security & Medicare PAC has endorsed Congressman Mike Thompson for California's 4th district primary election. This endorsement highlights Thompson's record in supporting senior citizens, evidenced by his perfect score on the committee's congressional scorecard. His dedication to these programs makes him a valuable advocate for retirees.
Congressman Thompson has been a staunch defender against proposals to privatize Social Security, acknowledging the potential risks to workers' retirement security. He was instrumental in the drafting of the Inflation Reduction Act, which aims to cut Medicare prescription drug costs and places a monthly cap on insulin at $35. These measures reflect his commitment to enhancing financial stability for seniors.
Max Richtman, President and CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, emphasizes Thompson's ongoing efforts in safeguarding these crucial programs. His focus remains on reducing daily living expenses for older adults, ensuring that both Social Security and Medicare continue to serve as reliable support systems for America's seniors.
