This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' firm commitment to preserving the current retirement ages for Social Security and Medicare. It explicitly states that these eligibility ages shall not be raised, aligning with a promise made by President Donald J. Trump to oppose such changes. The resolution emphasizes that Congress must uphold its solemn commitments to American seniors, who depend on these programs for secure retirement and healthcare. It further declares that any proposals to reduce or delay access to earned retirement benefits will be firmly rejected. The resolution highlights that increasing the retirement age would effectively cut benefits for millions, particularly impacting those in physically demanding jobs and lower-income communities, and would lead to higher out-of-pocket costs and reduced access to care for Medicare beneficiaries.
