Medicare
Stop Republicans in Congress
from gutting Medicare.Petition to Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and Donald Trump:
"Do not cut, privatize, weaken or otherwise damage Medicare or Social Security.
We should expand these successful programs – not cut them."Add your name:
Dear Judy,Medicare is a fundamental tool of economic security – a
guarantee that seniors will not be denied health care just because they can’t
afford it. But Republicans in Congress, led by House Speaker Paul Ryan and
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, are making plans right now to privatize
Medicare and hand it over to greedy insurance companies.1The fight over the
future of Medicare could come to a head as soon as the next session of Congress
starts in January. Add your name to our petition now and Sen. Bernie Sanders
will deliver it to Republicans in Congress next week. We need to make it clear
that any attempt to privatize, cut, weaken or damage Medicare or Social
Security is completely unacceptable.Sign the petition: Stop the Republican
attack on Medicare. Click here to sign the petition.Speaker Ryan has wanted to
destroy Medicare for years. His ultimate goal is to end Medicare as we know it
and replace it with a privatized program in which seniors would get federal
vouchers to help offset the cost of premiums charged by commercial insurance
plans. It’s a trick designed to create the appearance of cutting costs by
shifting some of the financial burden from the federal government to America’s
seniors.During the campaign, Trump repeatedly pledged that he would not attack
Medicare. But then, just two weeks after the election, his senior adviser
Kellyanne Conway admitted that he would “take a look at Speaker Ryan’s
proposal.”2 One thing’s for certain: We can’t trust Trump, Rep. Ryan or Sen.
McConnell to do what’s right for America’s seniors.House Democratic Leader
Nancy Pelosi is adamant that Democrats in Congress will remain united in
opposing the imminent Republican attack on Medicare.3 But with Republicans in
control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, we need a powerful
show of grassroots opposition now to show Rep. Ryan, Sen. McConnell and Trump
that we won’t tolerate any attacks on Medicare or the rest of our social safety
net.Sign the petition: Stop the Republican attack on Medicare. Click here to
sign the petition.Thanks for everything you do.Josh Nelson, Deputy Political
