3 Questions to Ask the Candidates

Your vote in November matters to the future of Medicare and Social Security

After years of paying into Medicare and Social Security, you’ve earned a say in each program’s future. That’s why AARP launched You’ve Earned a Say, a national conversation to help protect and strengthen these programs for today’s seniors as well as future generations.

The next president and Congress could decide the future of Medicare and Social Security, yet too few candidates will tell you where they stand on the future of these vital programs.

Before you cast your vote on Nov. 6, make sure you know where candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate and presidency stand on these three issues:

  1. How would you protect Social Security for today’s seniors and strengthen it for future generations?

  2. How would you put Medicare on stronger financial ground and protect today’s seniors and future retirees from the burden of rising health costs?

  3. How would you help Americans build a financial nest egg for their retirement?

If you haven’t yet registered to vote, learn how you can.

Your voice is more important than ever.
