Announces Healthcare Advisory Committee

For Release: July 23, 2018
Contact: Theresa Yarosh 973-479-4220

Dr. Murray Sabrin whose message is Peace, Liberty and Prosperity recognizes that there are many in New Jersey and across the nation who are being burdened with escalating healthcare costs. With the passing of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 and the Affordable Care Act of 2010, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) were authorized to create its Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) brackets. For those whose incomes go over the Standard Premium Income Brackets more of their Social Security Checks will be allocated toward Medicare Premiums. To effectively represent the seniors in New Jersey and around our Nation, Dr. Murray Sabrin has put together a formidable team of individuals each with their own expertise to address this ongoing issue as well as work toward creating legislation that would offer alternatives for funding both Medicare and Social Security.

Statement of Principles

We believe that healthcare is woven into the very fabric of this great nation. It impacts not only every citizen, but each state as well. By addressing and curbing the costs associated with it the overall wellbeing of our nation’s economy will continue to prosper.

• Our goal is to create educational resources on the subject of healthcare where individuals and couples will be able to properly plan for these costs today and in the future.

• Work with healthcare professionals in order to design ways to minimize the increasing costs associated with healthcare.

• Bring awareness to the growing issue surrounding the subject of how healthcare costs will impact the national and state pension systems as well as work with professionals within government, financial services and the healthcare sector to find solutions that protect pensioners.

• Design a system that is transparent, so consumers will be better equipped to make informed decisions on how their healthcare is managed.

• Explore legislative solutions that will not burden future generations to shore up both Social Security and Medicare, while preserving the commitment to current and soon-to-be beneficiaries, and provide options for young workers to take control of their future needs.

The following have accepted Dr. Murray Sabrin’s invitation to serve on his committee.
