AFP

Kaine discusses Social Security in Martinsville On Tuesday, Tim Kaine met with retirees and seniors in Martinsville as part of his two week tour to discuss ways to strengthen Social Security and Medicare and other issues of importance to older Americans.

At each tour stop, Kaine has called for commonsense reforms like allowing the government to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries. He has also emphasized the need to strengthen existing Social Security benefits and prevent a shift in Social Security dollars to private accounts that are vulnerable to volatile market forces.
