For many years, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has led an ideology-driven war on Capitol Hill over the face and future of Medicare, while the National Committee has fought his dangerous proposals every step of the way.Speaker Ryan's agenda for Medicare calls for privatizing the program for the benefit of huge insurance companies ... raising Medicare's eligibility age ... and shifting more health care costs onto beneficiaries like you.
The Ryan plan to dismantle traditional Medicare must be stopped. Because if it becomes law, here's what millions of beneficiaries can look forward to: 1) The government will give you a "voucher" to spend, like money, on your health insurance coverage, 2) The value of your voucher will be limited by law — it will not keep up with your rising costs, 3) This plan would make it harder for beneficiaries to choose their own doctors and 4) Only the healthiest and youngest — i.e., most profitable to cover — beneficiaries will find affordable private insurance.
Help us send a powerful and direct message to Speaker Ryan as he sets his agenda for our nation in the days ahead! Tell him "Hands Off Medicare!"
