Urge Congress To Preserve the Medicare Program

We encourage you to personalize your letter.

Medicare turns 45 this year, and after nearly a half-century of providing security for older adults and people with disabilities, the need for the program is as great as ever. Today, Medicare provides health coverage for 47 million Americans, ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our society have access to quality, affordable health care.

The 45th anniversary of Medicare’s enactment marks an occasion to reflect on the core principles of the program. In order to ensure that future generations of Americans can enjoy the security that Medicare provides, lawmakers must uphold these principles. They must protect consumer choice and make sure that affordable options for consumers are always available so that Medicare remains the robust public program that it was originally intended to be.

Medicare must also be kept solvent for future generations. Health reform has made financial adjustments to Medicare to help strengthen the program’s financial outlook while ensuring that care remains high-quality and consumer-centered. Lawmakers should protect people with Medicare from additional, more drastic changes to the program, and allow time for the savings to be fully realized.

Contact your senators and representatives today. Tell them to preserve Medicare for future generations.

Dear (recipient name),

Medicare turns 45 this year, and after nearly a half-century of providing security for older adults and people with disabilities, the need for the program is as great as ever. People with Medicare are counting on Congress to preserve the program, which provides health coverage for 47 million Americans and ensures that the most vulnerable people in our society have access to quality, affordable health care.

As we celebrate the 45th anniversary of Medicare’s enactment, we’re counting on leaders in Washington to preserve the core principles of the program, so that future generations of Americans can enjoy the same security. Preserving Medicare means putting people with Medicare first. It means maintaining affordable options and care choices for consumers, so that Medicare remains the robust public program that it was originally intended to be.

Of course, preserving Medicare also means keeping the program solvent for future generations. Health reform has made financial adjustments to Medicare to help strengthen the program’s financial outlook while ensuring that care remains high-quality and consumer-centered. Lawmakers should protect people with Medicare from additional, more drastic changes to the program, and allow time for the savings to be fully realized.
