Since 1965, Medicare has become a national treasure by providing coverage to 45 million older Americans and Americans with disabilities.
For decades Medicare’s critics have warned of impending doom for the program but it always gets repaired. Here’s our suggested fix: eliminate the massive waste and expense caused by the private for-profit insurance companies. Put these savings into Medicare – protect it, improve it, and expand it to all from birth to death!
It is unacceptable to bulldoze cuts, expand privatization, or raise the eligibility age to our most critical social programs, especially when unemployment and financial insecurity are at record highs.
Strengthening Medicare and making it more efficient through single-payer Medicare for All is the best way to get our economy back on track.
This Huntsville event is part of a national day of action where groups across the country are celebrating Medicare’s birthday — and telling Congress to keep their hands OFF Medicare.
