Clearly, there is a concerted effort to both weaken original Medicare and sow anxiety about the program - and it's working. Although a recent poll shows that 77 percent of Americans support Medicare and don't want to see it cut, many are insecure about the program's future. According to one survey, the majority of respondents are "concerned about whether Medicare coverage will be available throughout their lifetimes," and an even greater number believe that "Medicare won't be available for their children throughout their lifetimes."

We must fight back against the false narratives that Medicare is responsible for the federal deficit, is going bankrupt, and needs to be gutted. It's time for the country to renew its commitment to the Medicare program. Our organizations are here to protect Medicare and families all over the country who rely on it. We urge voters to do the same.
