Representative McCarthy, No Benefit Cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security!

Representative McCarthy, we urge you to vote NO to ANY and EVERY cut to Medicare,Medicaid, and Social Security benefits, including raising the retirement age or cutting the Cost of Living Adjustment. Take our earned benefits OFF the chopping block!

Why is this important?

Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are extremely vital parts of our social safety net. The majority of Americans are NOT willing to cut benefits from these very popular programs in order to deal with the deficit. In fact, Social Security should not even be part of this equation. We oppose any and every cut to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security benefits--including raising the retirement age or cutting the cost of living adjustment. There are other ways to solve our nations fiscal problems. Our Washington representatives should NOT dismantle the safety net which our country's seniors, the poor, the orphaned, and the disabled rely upon for their very survival.
