TELL CONGRESS WHY MEDICARE IS BECOMING TOO EXPENSIVE

Dear Conservatives,

Healthcare costs are a major challenge for most Americans and particularly seniors over 65 and disabled people living on Social Security. As we age, we require more healthcare services all while the cost of healthcare rises several times faster than overall inflation. Consequently, Medicare premiums and out-of-pocket costs take an increasing share of beneficiaries' income over time, leaving seniors and the disabled at risk of outliving their savings.

Congress is currently considering major deficit reduction proposals that could impact the growth of your Social Security benefits and require you to pay more for your Medicare. Please take this survey and give us your input if you are a senior or disabled person who receives Medicare.

Your answers to this survey will help TSCL educate Members of Congress, the media and the public about the challenge of rising Medicare costs when living on Social Security and why Medicare costs should be kept affordable for beneficiaries.

Sincerely,

Larry Hyland
Board Chairman
P.S. Take the healthcare survey and tell us your story about how you manage your healthcare costs!
