AARP: Health Care and Pension Reform Critical to Economic Recovery
Date:12/4/2008

estore people's confidence in the guaranteed pension system. Appropriate funding is critical to ensure that retirees have access to the pensions they were promised, and to ensure current employees that the pensions they are working toward will be there for them when they retire. Congress must look beyond this current crisis and ensure that the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is financially sound. All workers and retirees who have a pension deserve to know that their promised retirement income is secure.

"Finally, any company receiving a government loan has a responsibility to its employees, retirees and the American taxpayer to manage those funds appropriately. Congress and the Administration have a responsibility to conduct oversight to be sure that funds loaned to any corporation are used properly and effectively to restore the vitality of the American economy and the jobs it creates.

"In summary, we believe that any government funds provided to failing companies must be used as an investment to rebuild our economy and add jobs. However, Congress and the Administration must go beyond this and address the rising cost of health care and the pension needs of all workers and retirees so that Americans can realize the security they earned."
