On Wednesday, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released separate reports on the ten-year budget outlook and the financial outlook for major federal trust funds.

On behalf of FreedomWorks activists nationwide, I urge you to contact your representative and senators ask them to support and co-sponsor the Retirement Freedom Act, H.R. 6703 and S. 3560, introduced by Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Ala.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). The bill would decouple Social Security benefits from Medicare Part A enrollment, allowing individuals if they so choose to to opt out of Medicare Part A without losing access to their Social Security benefits.
Dear FreedomWorks member, As one of our one million-plus FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your representatives and ask them to cosponsor S. 1317, the Retirement Freedom Act. Introduced by Sen. DeMint (S.C.), the bill would allow individuals to choose to opt out of the Medicare part A benefit. The Retirement Freedom Act will restore seniors’ personal liberty to maintain a health care plan of their choice and save taxpayer dollars in the process.
