President Trump’s Plan To Protect Our Great Seniors

October 08, 2024

President Trump will always fight for America's senior citizens — who have been left behind by Kamala Harris

 

Today, Kamala Harris will allegedly announce a policy related to home care for seniors — once again following President Trump's lead.

 

This summer, President Trump outlined his platform to Make America Great Again — which includes his commitment to America's seniors receiving at-home care.

  • Specifically, President Trump will prioritize home care benefits by shifting resources back to at-home senior care, overturning disincentives that lead to care worker shortages, and supporting unpaid family caregivers through tax credits and reduced red tape.

That builds on President Trump's first term achievements for seniors receiving at-home care.

  • The Trump administration provided new Medicare Advantage supplemental benefits that included modifications to help keep seniors safe in their homes, respite care for caregivers, transportation coverage, additional in-home support services and assistance, and non-opioid pain management alternatives.

Of course, part of President Trump's mission will be to undo the devastation the Harris-Biden administration has unleashed on seniors:

  • Under Kamala, seniors saw the largest ever Medicare Part B premium increase.
  • Many seniors are delaying retirement amid rampant inflation as they struggle to afford basic necessities and groceries.
  • Almost half of older Americans say they've had to spend their emergency savings to make ends meet.
  • Medicare Part D drug costs are "substantially higher" in 2024, while the average monthly Part D premium increased 21% over the past year.
  • Resident fees at independent living facilities have gone up 4.4% over the past year, while the cost of nursing homes and adult daycare facilities have jumped 4.8% over the past year.

By prioritizing at-home care — as well as protecting Social Security and Medicare and ENDING taxes on seniors' Social Security — President Trump will make good on the promise that seniors should be able to live their golden years with dignity.

 

That's in stark contrast to the failed, far-left policies that have forced seniors out of retirement as they struggle to get by. President Trump will reverse the decline and safeguard a prosperous future for our Great Seniors and all American families.
