Having a father in long-term nursing care, Ahsan is very concerned about the treatment and level of services our elderly neighbors are afforded at home and at retirement communities. Our senior family members contributed substantially to the U.S. economy as well as to our military and political institutions, and they are respected members of our communities. They earned the right to enjoy a dignified retirement without fear of financial or medical distress.
Ahsan is a strong advocate of better Medicare and Medicaid funding, and he will join hands with congressional colleagues to protect Social Security. Rather than reduce it as some politicians’ advocate, Ahsan wants to ensure that Social Security cost-of-living adjustments keep pace with the skyrocketing costs of healthcare. He will collaborate with experts to explore options that increase revenues without raising taxes on the lower and middle classes.
