Pelosi Statement on Proposed Entitlement Task Force

'Medicare and Social Security are two of the most successful safety nets in our nation and any changes must be made on a bipartisan basis.  This can be done by the committees of jurisdiction in Congress; they have the experience, knowledge and authority for addressing issues that arise with entitlements.

'Democrats are committed to addressing the long-term challenge faced by Social Security and Medicare to ensure that American families receive the secure retirement they have earned.'
