This past year the nation saw unprecedented economic and fiscal challenges the likes of which had notbeen seen in decades. The economy slowed dramatically and shed jobs at alarming rates. Many retireessaw their retirement security put in serious jeopardy. Millions saw their home values, personal savings andretirement accounts plummet. A new administration came to Washington in the midst of this turmoil.

Much of the cause of the economic distress was due to Wall Street practices that put the global economyin jeopardy. Congress reacted with stimulus legislation that included a $250 payment to Social Securityrecipients. Yet, there are those who would cut Social Security and Medicare benefits to make up for theexcesses of Wall Street. As we look forward, Social Security will turn 75 in August 2010. We still mustremain on guard against efforts to privatize and cut the Social Security and Medicare programs. We mustcontinue to remind all Americans that they are programs that benefit all generations, not just retirees.

Congress also devoted much time and effort to health care reform. Both houses passed legislation thatcontained positive change for older Americans. The Medicare Part D doughnut hole would begin to close.There would be no more co-payments for Medicare covered preventive screenings. Medicare Advantageoverpayments would end and thus extend the financial health of the Medicare Trust Fund. Pre-Medicareretirees would have help in affording health care. Yet delay, largely due to the Senate filibuster rule, causedthe year to end without health care reform. Retirees, too, have a stake in seeing health care reform enacted.

It is up to us to advocate for those issues on which older Americans depend for a respectable quality of lifein retirement.

This Voting Record reflects how committed our elected representatives are to retirees and older Americans.Use it to educate yourself on where your elected representatives stand. Get active today and help createan America that protects the health and economic security of seniors, strengthens families and builds safeand thriving communities.
