AARP Nebraska today released the first in a “commonsense solutions” series of new videos on the 48th anniversary of President Lyndon Johnson signing Medicare into law on July 30, 1965. Nebraska has 240,273 residents who rely on Medicare for their health care coverage, on average spending 12 percent of their income out-of-pocket for their health care costs. AARP’s Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond released the following statement with the video:
Health care fraud is a booming business across the U.S., ranging from $80 billion to $160 billion in losses each year. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that consumers themselves lose more than $10 billion annually to health care fraud.
AARP volunteer and staff leaders from Nebraska and every other state in the nation visited Capitol Hill today to express opposition to the President’s proposed Social Security benefit cut known as Chained CPI and to support responsible solutions to strengthen Medicare. Meeting with members of Nebraska’s congressional delegation and their staff, AARP Nebraska urged our representatives to have a separate debate on Social Security and to back specific proposals that would strengthen Medicare and the health care system overall.
A new analysis of Census data showing that more Nebraskans are living in poverty shines a spotlight on harmful cuts to Social Security and Medicare now being considered in Washington that could push even more seniors into poverty.
