President Joe Biden met with supporters at a Hallandale Beach community center on Tuesday afternoon, touting Democratic support for Social Security and Medicare.
The president spoke at OB Johnson Park’s community center, after he was introduced by 74-year-old Boynton Beach resident Sheldon Armus, a Medicare recipient who will benefit from provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, which Biden signed into law in August. One of its provisions reduces prescription drug costs for Medicare recipients and caps the cost of insulin for participants in the health plan for older and disabled people.
“They deserve to retire with dignity and peace of mind and that’s how it should be in the United States of America,” Biden said, adding that Social Security and Medicare are “under siege by the Republicans.”
