Opinion: Letter to the Editor: A Winner For Seniors

Congresswoman Barbara Comstock has a sterling record of protecting those of us with a few more sterling silver hairs. Rep. Comstock has been a consistent advocate for Medicare, voting countless times to protect seniors from Medicare cuts or changes to Medicare that would have made us pay more out of pocket.

She voted to permanently extend the cap on Medicare payments for outpatient procedures, a vote that could save someone tens of thousands of dollars.

But if you do have to pay out of pocket? Comstock voted to give seniors significant tax relief, allowing us to deduct more out-of-pocket medical expenses. And Comstock voted to permanently extend Medicare Advantage plans for seniors with special needs.

For those of us who have been around the block a time or two, Comstock is a proven winner.
