My wife is a 6 year breast cancer survivor. Our experience could only be imagined as a family that went through breast cancer treatment. There are other families going through tough health challenges and they are not rich to have healthcare coverage hence the need for Obamacare.

I am 67 years old. Fortunatley for me my husband is still working and I have health insurance through him but sooner or later I will need medicare. I have a whole host of medical issues. Without medicare I will not be able to afford my medical care.

As a retired senior and social security recipient, I do not support any benefit cuts or increase the age requirement to these programs. The deficit reduction savings can be achieved by negotiating with drugs companies to reduce cost and until all corporations tax loopholes and off shore tax havens are eliminated! Seniors, the middle class and the poor did not cause the debt problem. We the people had to bail out wall street and the banks. Now these same anti government republicans are trying to eliminate what we the people have paid for. If the " job creaters" were so much better than we the people, why did our we the people have to save them?

Vote against cuts to Social Security Benefits, MedCare, Medi-Cal/Medicaid!!! We cannot endure any more setbacks considering our cost of living in CA. Why must the poor, elderly and disabled ALWAYS be an easy target for budget cuts. If you were to trade income and benefits with those of us, YOU wouldn't last 12 days!!!!

My father is 80 and he always is struggling with high medicine cost. He believed that all the work he did in life would afford him a safety net. I am appalled for all the disrespect the elderly is receiving. Rep Davis you have stood for great issues impacting people in our community. This cause has one of the greatest reasons to be supported-helping our fathers and mothers after they retire.

These cuts would hurt people who are needy and already living in poverty level.

Over a dozen members of Congress have signed a letter to President Obama promising to stand with him against any cuts to our social safety net: Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. However, Michael Michaud, Maine's Second District House Representative has yet to sign on to this oath. Please sign this petition today, urging Rep. Michaud to sign on to this very important promise to the people of this country.

Our progressive leaders must stand together and deny the latest Republican attempts to cut our social safety net. There is plenty of revenue hiding in the offshore accounts of huge corporations and no excuse for taking from the most vulnerable.

Medicare, Medicaid and social security are life line benefits the aged have paid for and given their all to building this country. We cannot let them rob the helpless of this country just to support their friends the big Corporations.

More than a dozen members of Congress have already signed a letter to President Obama promising to vote against any cut to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security benefits. It's important that Rep Jared Huffman show support for these programs by signing this letter. Here is an excerpt from that letter: "Voters across the political spectrum oppose cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security benefits, and we must do whatever it takes to protect these vital benefits from cuts. That's why we write to let you know that we will vote against any and every cut to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security benefits -- including raising the retirement age or cutting the cost of living adjustments that our constituents earned and need." Costs can be cut by implementing such policies as allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices just like the Veterans Administration does, but benefits should not be cut. The Grayson-Takano letter is the only one that vows to vote against any bill that cuts Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits, and we urge Rep. Huffman to sign this letter.

I've been disabled since September 20,1997 after being assaulted in New York,so this does affect me after how I live disabled.Cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security benefits will honestly bring problems to those that live the same life I do since it covers our health.Most of us that became disabled didn't make this choice to live this life, but we deal with it day by day and also some of us are single parents and also married and it's hard.

stop cutting benefits for the elderly, the disabled/handicap and your future needs!
