Dear Mr. President:
We write to urge you to uphold your repeated promises to not cut Medicare and to publicly reject the almost
Nine out of ten Americans oppose cutting Medicare, including 85 percent of
More than 55 million seniors and Americans with disabilities depend on Medicare. The staggering benefit cuts proposed in the Republican budgets would subject millions of these Americans, many of whom already live on tight budgets, to soaring out-of-pocket health costs, higher premiums and reductions in benefits. Even deeper cuts would be triggered if
Additionally, nine out of ten people do not want to see Medicaid cut. Americans resoundingly rejected cuts to Medicaid this year and fought to protect care for the more than 70 million Americans that benefit from it. Hard-working families, children, seniors, veterans, those with disabilities, people struggling with addiction, and rural communities would face immense suffering - but the proposed budgets cut Medicaid even deeper than any previous legislation.
Medicare and Medicaid are promises to working and middle-class families that quality health care will be there when they need it most. It is a promise that we must not break. Americans have spoken passionately and clearly to say that our country should move toward covering more people and reducing the cost of care - not the opposite. We hope to work with you and Congressional Republicans in a bipartisan manner to achieve this goal.
We ask you to maintain your ongoing promise to protect Medicare, to oppose cuts to Medicaid and to swiftly reassure the millions of Americans who rely on them that they will not be cut to fund tax breaks for the wealthy.
Sincerely,
