DEFENDING MEDICARE

July 29, 2011
Dear Friends,

The Republicans are using the debt ceiling debate to try to force an end to Medicare as we know it. Medicare is one of our nation's greatest programs. For the past 46 years, millions of our nation's seniors and their families have counted on the government's promise to provide what they have rightfully earned. It is unconscionable that the Republicans are threatening to destroy America's financial reputation and future unless we put our seniors at the mercy of big insurance. My Democratic colleagues and I will not only raise the debt ceiling but continue to work to strengthen Medicare’s solvency and ensure that it will continue providing support for future generations.
