A very unpopular bill called The Time to Rescue United States Trusts (TRUST) Act is now working its way through Congress. If passed, it would set up groups of a dozen lawmakers with the power to recommend cuts to Social Security and Medicare. This would hit the most vulnerable. Half of those covered by Medicare have incomes of less than $27K. Social Security is the main source of income for more than 34 million older households. Under the new law, if seven of the twelve committee members approve of changes, they would be fast tracked in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, with no adequate debate among lawmakers and no amendments permitted on the floor of the House or the Senate. To make sure that your senators and representative know you oppose the TRUST Act, please go to  https://action.aarp.org/trustact.
