The Seniors Coalition is the nation’s leading free-market senior education and advocacy organization with a membership of more than 4 million seniors. The mission of The Seniors Coalition (TSC) is to protect the quality of life and economic well-being that older Americans have earned while supporting common sense solutions to the challenges of the future. To that end, TSC and its spokesperson, Grandma Green, lobby government at both the federal and state level.  Furthermore, Grandma Green periodically travels the country in her RV, the StraightTalk Express, to inform senior citizens on current issues and to listen to their concerns. As Grandma Green likes to say, “Getting government involved is generally the most effective way to lower efficiency and increase customer dissatisfaction.   It is also the best way to eliminate our freedom of choice.  I want to see solutions that respect the principles of free-market.”

TSC was founded as a public advocacy group during the fight to repeal the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act in 1989.  Since then, TSC has grown rapidly and expanded its advocacy to include a wide range of other important issues including:

·        Protecting the Social Security Trust Fund

·        Saving Medicare from bankruptcy

·        Ensuring the availability of low-cost generic drugs.

·        Balancing the Federal budget

TSC has been a consistent and strong advocate for the passage of the prescription drug benefit contained in the Medicare Modernization Act; promotes real medical liability reforms; supports passage of an asbestos trust fund to provide compensation to those truly sick; advocates protections in telecommunications to minimize taxes and surcharges to wireless phone products for seniors; and strongly works to protect the value of the existing Medicare benefit package for seniors.

The Seniors Coalition is the responsible alternative to AARP.  “AARP has demonstrated repeatedly that their allegiance is to their business interests and the continued flow of government monies- The Seniors Coalition’s first priority is the well-being of America’s senior.  And our work reflects that,” says Grandma Green.

The Seniors Coalition is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(4) that represents the interests and concerns of America’s senior citizens at both the state and federal levels.
