Hillary's stand on Social Security, (Hillary Clinton Group)

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/social-security-and-medicare/

Notice there isn't anything about Chained CPI.


Social Security and Medicare

We must preserve, protect, and strengthen these lifelines.






“We need to make sure what we already do, like Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, to provide a level of security and support for people, continues to work really well.”

Hillary, JULY 3, 2015

Throughout her career, Hillary has spoken out for seniors and stood up for Medicare and Social Security, and she is committed to preserving, protecting and strengthening these lifelines for today's seniors and for future generations. Seniors have paid into these programs for a lifetime, and they've earned those benefits when they retire.

On Social Security, Hillary Clinton has stood firmly against Republican efforts to privatize the program and weaken it for our seniors. She believes that we should enhance—rather than roll back—Social Security, especially for women.

As senator, Hillary co-sponsored and sponsored bills to reduce the impact of the Medicare prescription drug gap by reducing the price of pharmaceuticals for seniors. She will build on these efforts by demanding lower prices for prescription drugs for seniors in Medicare—and reforming our health care delivery system to reward quality and value, and strengthen Medicare over the long run.

As president, Hillary will defend against the efforts to privatize Medicare and Social Security, and will work to enhance both programs for our most vulnerable seniors.

have been telling me what Hillary stands for. I don't think any of the things they say she is for came from her campaign. Seems they ignore her campaign statements.
Hell they know Hillary better than Hillary knows Hillary.
