Senior Solidarity Campaign: Protecting Retirement Now and for the Future
By JAN LANCE / The Rag Blog / April 2, 2026
The Texas Alliance for Retired Americans (TARA) wants you!
TARA’s Senior Solidarity campaign focuses on four issues – Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Voting Rights. We want to make sure candidates hear from seniors about these issues. If elected, we want to see them co-sponsor four pieces of legislation in the U.S. Congress. TARA will take this campaign to voters, community groups, and union locals as well as to candidate forums and congressional offices.
Rag Radio will broadcast an interview with Jan Lance,
Friday, April 3, 2026, 2:00-3:00 p.m., KOOP 91.7 FM, and streamed at KOOP.org
SOCIAL SECURITY: SS Trustees project that the trust fund will become insolvent in 2033 after which SS will only pay 77% of scheduled benefits.
Take immediate action to guarantee long-term SS solvency. Scrap the cap AND restore cuts to Social Security Field Offices. SUPPORT The Social Security Expansion Act S.770 and H.R. 1700 to extend Social Security’s solvency for 75 years. SUPPORT Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act H.R. 1876.
MEDICARE: The CMS WISeR (Wasteful & Inappropriate Service Reduction) pilot program expands AI-generated prior authorization into Traditional Medicare in AZ, NJ, OH, OK, TX and WA, paying AI companies to deny claims.
Tell CMS to end the WISeR pilot program NOW! SUPPORT The Smarter Act H.R. 5940 and S. 3480 to prohibit implementation of the WISeR model.
