Message from the president

RetireSafe’s Vision for 2025


RetireSafe welcomes you to 2025! There a lot of changes happening this year. RetireSafe continues to prioritize important issues dealing with Healthcare and Social Security, as well as putting some of our focus into new areas! In December, our board identified four major areas that we will focus on this year: Medicare, Social Security, Senior Health, and Aging in Place. Read more about these topics and how RetireSafe plans to advocate for YOU in our January 2025 Issue of The Senior Scoop!

Our Legislative Priorities:

  • Encourage implementation of fiscal polices to ensure Medicare’s solvency indefinitely
  • Seek improvement to the oversights of Medicare to reduce the $60 billion lost annually to fraud and waste
  • Advocate for the creation of new funding streams to ensure the solvency of Social Security
  • Change the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) formula from CPI-W (Wage Earner) to CPI-E (Elderly) to provide a more accurate reading on everyday costs for seniors
  • Fight for improved availability of diagnostic laboratory testing and easier accessibility to vaccines and medications in the face of Medicare budget cuts
  • Speak out against legislation that deters senior Americans from staying in their family homes
  • Urge Congress to create tax incentives that help seniors live in their homes for as long as possible

Sincerely,

In Memoriam

Jimmy Carter: Remembering the 39th U.S. President


Credit: LBJ Library, cartercenter.org

James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, the 39th President of the United States, passed away on December 29th, at 100 years old. He died peacefully, surrounded by family at his home in Plains, Georgia. He was the oldest living Former President in U.S. History.

Jimmy Carter was a selfless humanitarian both in his presidency and beyond, receiving the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in establishing The Carter Center, an organization dedicated to improving life for people around the world.

The folks at RetireSafe honor his legacy of peace, diplomacy, and humanitarian work.

We urge Oregon Senators to reject SB 533 and HB 2385. 340B drug discounts should be passed on to Oregon patients to make medicines more affordable, instead of being absorbed by for-profit pharmacy chains and large hospitals.

As widespread misuse of the 340B program continues, we ask Oregon lawmakers to pause legislation like SB 533 and instead focus on transparency, accountability and patient access. We hope Oregon Senators will prioritize the program’s original intent of serving patients. Learn more about 340B: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWyrKLb4BmE #ORLeg ... See MoreSee Less

We applaud @RepAdrianSmith @RepSchneider @RepHarshbarger @DorisMatsui for championing #HR3164 to ensure senior access to prompt and essential pharmacist services. We are proud to work alongside you on this critical patient effort.

Congress must oppose the "most favored nation" (MFN) policy in Medicaid. MFN would hurt senior access to the medications they rely upon. Learn more: https://www.retiresafe.org/healthcare/#latest
