El debate abordará los temas de la seguridad del cuidado a la salud y del retiro. La Vice Presidenta Ejecutiva de Impacto Social en la AARP, Nancy LeaMond, dice que las audiencias sacan al debate sobre Medicare y Social Security de su encierro en Washington.

"Donde los políticos siguen hablando de Medicare y Social Security como líneas en un presupuesto, sin decirle a los americanos qué podría significar cualquier cambio en estos programas para ellos y sus familias."

LeaMond dice que las investigaciones encontraron que sólo la mitad de los miembros de la AARP confían en que Medicare y Social Security siempre les apoyarán, y menos de uno por cada cinco se declara "muy confiado" de que los programas seguirán vigentes durante todo su retiro.

Lea Mond expresa que, para millones de americanos, Social Security y Medicare son el fundamento de su seguridad en el retiro.

"Con millones de personas próximas a retirarse que batallan con pensiones y ahorros perdidos, reducción del valor de sus casas y costos de salud más elevados, es hora de cambiar la conversación sobre Medicare y Social Security en Washington."

Los foros comunitarios comienzan ahora en Oakland. Habrá otros esta semana en Los Angeles y San Francisco, y la próxima semana en San Diego y Sacramento.

Quienes se interesen en asistir a un evento de "Te has ganado el derecho de hablar" y quieran más información, pueden llamar al 1-866-838-2838. Más información en www.aarp.org/ca.
