OUR ISSUES
KEY ISSUES REMAIN THE SAME …
The major issues for seniors have remained much the same since our 1997 founding. At the “2020: Eyes on the Election” Conference in September 2019, delegates identified the following seven issues to be most important:
-
Health care costs
-
Pension security
-
Social Security
-
Medicare
-
Health care access and quality
-
Medicaid
-
The 2020 Census.
We work to provide information on issues for seniors in a number of ways. Recently we created short videos linked below on three important issues.
Strategies for Saving Social Security (3:06 minutes) explains how we can strengthen the hugely successful program and make sure it will be there for future generations.
Medicare & Medicaid: Perils & Promises (2:25 minutes) suggests how the financial outlook for Medicare and Medicaid can be improved by taking full control of them back from the hands of profit-taking insurance companies.
There are videos on a variety of issues in our You Tube offerings. Find those at youtube.com/mnretired/videos.
