Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Social Security and Medicare
Protection Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) fiscal pressures will mount as an aging population
increases the Government's obligations to provide retirement
income and health services;

reserved for strengthening and preserving the Social Security
trust funds; and
(3) preserving Social Security and Medicare surpluses would
restore confidence in the long-term financial integrity of
Social Security and Medicare.

Security and Medicare hospital insurance trust funds from being used
for any purpose other than providing retirement and health security.
