"Hands off Medicare"

There is still time to Sign Petition to Save Medicare and
 Social Security from Paul Ryan and company.
(Please note: You don't have to donate in order to sign the petition and you will not be added to any fundraising lists.)
 

"The November election results did not give anyone a mandate to dismantle one of the most popular public programs in U.S. history, Medicare. As nurses we are absolutely opposed to Rep. Paul Ryan's schemes to destroy it by converting it into a program that further enriches the insurance industry and denies care to seniors because they can't afford it.  

Medicare works and that's why we think it should be expanded so that everyone in our nation has access to quality care regardless of their ability to pay. Nurses will make our voices heard across the country in the face of the threat of privatization and profiteering off sickness which is at the heart of the Ryan proposal.” ----- Jean Ross, Co-President, National Nurses United who will speak at the press conference.

The press conference will be live-streamed at a link from this FB events page on Dec. 7, 11 a.m. EST. https://www.facebook.com/events/1637648376535371/?ti=icl

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell may use a parliamentary procedure called reconciliation to bring Speaker Ryan’s plan to destroy Medicare to a vote – and it could happen as soon as this January. Reconciliation would allow this devastating bill to pass by a simple majority, without the opportunity for a filibuster.

But the American people will not take this lying down.

Please take a moment now to sign the petition! Tell the Republicans "Hands off Medicare!"
