This resolution urges Congress to reject any proposals that would weaken Medicare and Social Security, which are vital programs providing financial and health security to millions of seniors, including over a million residents in Minnesota. The resolution highlights the importance of these programs in maintaining economic stability for seniors, disabled individuals, and veterans, and expresses concern over recent federal proposals that could lead to cuts, privatization, or other measures undermining their viability. It emphasizes that reductions in benefits or eligibility would disproportionately affect Minnesota's seniors and vulnerable populations, jeopardizing their access to healthcare and basic living expenses.

Furthermore, the Minnesota State Senate condemns any federal actions that would reduce or eliminate Medicare or Social Security for seniors in the state. The resolution calls on Congress to reject such proposals and instead support policies that enhance the long-term sustainability of these critical programs. It also directs the Secretary of State of Minnesota to prepare and transmit copies of this memorial to key congressional leaders and representatives.
