There are many seniors and people with disabilities where SS is their ONLY income and live in poverty of less than $1000 a month and a big $16.00 in food stamps. I encounter these people every day as a SW.
For millions of seniors, Social Security and Medicare mean the difference between getting by and living in poverty. As president, I will oppose any cuts to these vital programs.

Don't forget tovconsider increasing SSDI benefits.....Nobody talks about People with Disabilities trying to live independently. They VOTE too......... in a world of abilities.

I’m with you on this. Trying to survive the last 9 years on disability has been a hard struggle & I’m only in my 40’s. They need to start remembering & do better for all the disabled people too.

You’re currently abusing cancer stricken seniors in San Francisco, you slum lord. You will NEVER be President!

But you just agreed to give what I paid for all my working life to everyone, and those here illegally. Oh, by the way, it isn't free for me either. I have two premiums that go up every year since ACA.

Yes and they’re not “entitlement” programs, we earned that money!

I couldn't agree more. Is different how a government senator or representative can retire with a full pension and medicare for serving 4years.

those programs need increases because disability benefits don't cover basic needs. Retirement for average workers is too low and Medicare premiums take a bite.

Yes thank you. I’m on SSI for a chronic illness and Medicaid just doesn’t cut it. No doctors take it and I stay sick.
