Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, is facing scrutiny over his past Congressional record
Former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate vying for the open Michigan U.S. Senate seat, answers questions from the media after he debated U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, Oct. 14, 2024. During a previous stint in Congress, Michigan Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers supported plans to overhaul Medicare and raise the eligibility age for benefits.
Rogers has not called for cutting Medicare or Social Security. He has said during this Senate campaign that he wants to strengthen the programs and protect their solvency. Although he has ruled out benefit cuts and raising the retirement age, Rogers has not said what policies he would support to preserve the programs.based on a plan that called to change Medicare benefits and raise the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67 over time.
The premium support system was designed to bring down Medicare’s cost to the federal government, so, in that sense, it represented a potential cut to the program’s budget. "If we are ever going to solve Social Security, we’re going to have a bipartisan commission that actually sits down and goes through the numbers and puts their party politics on the outside, and worries about the seniors on the inside," Rogers said during the Oct. 14 debate.
