Updates will appear here as the strategy progresses.
As a complementary strategy, support measures like cost-of-living adjustments, tax rebates, or minimum wage hikes so that vulnerable groups keep up with rising prices.
Support targeted income measures that help seniors and lower-income households weather high prices while inflation cools. Use lobbying to protect and design options like COLAs, rebates, and wage floors so relief reaches the people most squeezed and doesn’t undermine the broader price- stability strategy.
Why this works
Mitigates harm of inflation on people’s real incomes, maintaining living standards.
National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare
AdvocacyProtecting and enhancing retirement and health security for seniors
The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (NCPSSM) is a grassroots advocacy organization founded in 1982 to serve as an advocate in Washington for the financial security of seniors. NCPSSM fights against cuts to Social Security and Medicare, pushes for benefit improvements (like more accurate COLAs), and works to ensure these programs’ long-term solvency. With millions of members and supporters, the Committee lobbies Congress, conducts public education, and organizes seniors to speak out on issues such as prescription drug pricing and protection from inflation.
