Disguised as attempts to tackle our nation’s fiscal and deficit issues, politicians led by House Budget Committee Chair Paul Ryan have their sights on Medicare and won’t stop until this successful community program is dismantled. The House Republican Budget, also known as the Ryan Budget, will go to the floor of the House for a vote today. For the third year in a row, the Ryan Budget attempts to end Medicare's guarantee of reliable and affordable health coverage and replace it with a system of vouchers run by the private insurance industry – leaving beneficiaries on their own and with an extra $6,000 out of pocket each year. The Ryan Budget hurts seniors, veterans, women, people with disabilities and families. Meanwhile, the Ryan Budget asks nothing of pharmaceutical companies, which continue to receive windfall profits and sweetheart deals from Medicare – all subsidized by you, the taxpayer. This debate is about priorities. Paul Ryan and his colleagues have made theirs clear. Today, they need to hear clearly from you. _Call and email your Representative NOW and tell them you don't support the Ryan Budget!_ (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=HkgjZRg0KLYNtmZ2Laa8drUxtiz6EHlL) _Tell them_ (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=SWPqYrZOpW6Ja+mxWx03MbUxtiz6EHlL) your family can’t afford an extra $6,000. _Tell them_ (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=0bjFaZl9BeLxFcocu79VCLUxtiz6EHlL) not to entrust Medicare and your health care to the insurance industry. _Ask them:_ (http://salsa. democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=2QHfu1+s5qVFIvzYR5XBCLUxtiz6EHlL) Will they choose to protect seniors and disabled Americans or pharmaceutical companies?
