Hector Balderas on Social Security

Oppose efforts to privatize Social Security

• He will oppose efforts to privatize Social Security and put our seniors' retirement security in the hands of a volatile stock market;
• He will oppose efforts to end Medicare as we know it;
• He will oppose Republican efforts to cut food stamp benefits for New Mexico families by nearly $2,000 per year. This program has helped so many families work their way into the middle class;
• And he will fight against proposals that would cause 36 million Americans to lose their Medicaid coverage--including people with disabilities and seniors in nursing homes.
