MEDICARE, SOCIAL SECURITY & RETIRED WORKERS
“Samantha is a very dedicated supporter of the issues that the people of the 2nd Congressional District face. She is very strong on the protection of Veterans’ Rights, has marched beside me in an Organized Labor Rally near Valley Forge, PA, and is a tough fighter in the fight to correct the drug problem that is prevalent in each of the 15 counties that make up the 2nd Congressional District.”
Charles Williams, Retired Worker, UMWA

Social Security provides crucial income to millions of Americans. Retirees, senior citizens, disabled, and surviving spouses should never have to worry about the loss of their income. Ensuring that those benefits remain intact for our citizens is a top priority for me. I have volunteered as an End-of-Life Companion because I know that Medicare does not provide adequate coverage for longterm at-home care. Caring for your dying loved ones is heartbreaking and stressful. The last thing the families need to worry about are finances, but it looms heavy on their minds. We need better programs to safeguard families from losing their savings and homes due to extended illnesses. In addition, Medicare must include vision, dental, and hearing. I would fight for the addition of those services because I know how they directly affect families. I care.
