With millions of members and supporters across America, including 17,000 in Iowa, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare is the nation's # 1 advocacy group fighting to protect Social Security and Medicare for all citizens; from our "twenty-something" generation and baby-boomers to the nation's thirty-four million seniors.
The National Committee led the successful defeat of President Bush's plan to privatize Social Security and worked with Congress to pass vital legislation in the House eliminating billions of dollars in government subsidies to private industries providing Medicare Advantage plans. We work to inform our members and other citizens about legislative and regulatory proposals, which will affect their working and retirement life. In turn, we take their concerns directly to the White House and the Congress with our staff of professional lobbyists and grassroots advocates.
For more information about the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare call 1-800-966-1935.
The National Committee is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that acts in the interests of its membership through advocacy, education, services, grassroots efforts and the leadership of the board of directors and professional staff. The work of the National Committee is directed toward developing better-informed citizens and voters.
