Social Security
Social Security trust funds are expected to run out of money in the mid-2030s if changes aren't made. That would mean Social Security would rely entirely on those paying income taxes, and as a result, benefits for retirees would need to be reduced.
Medicare
Where Braun and Donnelly agree: Braun and Donnelly argue Medicare funding, which provides health insurance coverage to those over 65, will be stronger if the federal government gets the rest of the federal budget back on track — the same argument they made for Social Security.
Prescription drug costs
Where Braun and Donnelly agree: Republicans and Democrats typically don't agree on how to address health care issues. But both parties do tend to agree prescription drug prices shouldn't be as high as they are.
Family caregivers
Where Braun and Donnelly differ: Donnelly said tax credits or breaks for family caregivers should be considered at the federal level.
