Issue Position: Senior Citizens

Issue Position

Just as we have an obligation to our children, we also must care for those who came before us and provided for our own futures. Our senior citizen community has suffered egregious abuses in recent years. It will be one of Will's top priorities to ensure that our seniors are respected, cared for, and treated with dignity.

What Will's going to do:

Continue to fight for more, better reforms to our nursing-home laws, to fix a system that is sadly still plagued with abuses

Defend Medicare for all our seniors, and work against Medicare fraud

Restore funding to Illinois Cares Rx, the prescription-drug program that recently dropped many of the state's most vulnerable seniors due to budget cuts
