Lower Medicare and Supplemental Medical Insurance Premiums
To: V.P. Harris
From: A constituent in Belvedere Tiburon, CA

Medicare and supplemental medical insurance premiums are a significant financial burden for many seniors on fixed incomes. Lowering these costs would provide much-needed relief and allow retirees to keep more of their hard-earned savings. I urge you to prioritize legislation that reduces premiums without compromising the quality of care. This could be achieved through measures like allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, increasing subsidies for low-income beneficiaries, and promoting competition among providers. Our seniors deserve access to affordable healthcare after a lifetime of hard work and contributions to society. By taking action on this issue, you would demonstrate a commitment to protecting the welfare of our nation's elders.
