Glenda, Sen Moran and Maren 2013



AARP volunteers and staff from Kansas and every other state in the nation visited Capitol Hill today to

“Our families, friends, and neighbors want Washington to listen to them when it comes to Medicare and Social Security,” said AARP Kansas Volunteer State President Glenda DuBoise of Topeka. “They’ve made their voices heard online, at community meetings and events all over Kansas, and today we’ve brought their message to Washington with the hope that we can go home and tell the people who live in our neighborhoods that Congress will strengthen these lifeline programs that matter so much to us.”

In addition to pushing for a broader retirement security debate on Social Security that is separate from ongoing budget negotiations, DuBoise and AARP Kansas Director Maren Turner discussed embracing health care reforms that eliminate waste and improve care in order to drive positive change throughout the entire health care system and bring down health care costs for everyone, including in Medicare.   AARP Kansas volunteers and staff will continue to oppose harmful cuts and push for responsible change to strengthen Medicare and Social Security when they return home from Washington.
