Washington, D.C. — House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) issued a strong statement in response to President Biden's recent comments on safeguarding Medicare and Social Security.
"President Biden and Congressional Democrats have weakened our safety nets through their radical spending agenda, which has driven up Medicare premiums and forced seniors to spend more in out-of-pocket costs," Chair Rodgers expressed.
Highlighting the Republican stance on the issue, Chair Rodgers emphasized, “Republicans have led on the bipartisan Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, which will save seniors and the Medicare program billions of dollars. Rather than play politics, President Biden should join the effort and work with Republicans to strengthen and preserve Medicare and Social Security without cutting benefits to seniors.”
The commitment to protecting Medicare and Social Security remains a top priority for Republicans, as Chair Rodgers underlined the importance of collaboration and bipartisan efforts in ensuring the sustainability of these crucial programs.
