Independent

Which issue matters to you the most?:

Social Security and Medicare

How does the issue affect you or your community personally? Tell us a story.:

I am on the edge of needing these services/programs and they seem to be at risk after my 67 years of depending on and expecting them. Iowa has the 3 oldest population and hundreds of thousands of Iowan's have lived all their lives and planned their finances around these bedrock programs. To mess with and change them now invalidates a lifetime of planning!

What's the one question you'd ask a politician about this issue?:

Will you preserve and protest SS and Medicare?

What's the one question you wish a politician would ask YOU about this issue?:

Give me some ideas on how to fix SS and medicare!
