From Laborers Local 340:
It’s a simple question that should be easy for senators to answer:
“Will you support cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. Yes? or No?”
As negotiations continue on the jobs bill and the super committee proposal, we face the all too real possibility of Democrats giving in on cuts to Medicare or Medicaid.
If these cuts make it into these bills, Democrats in the Senate will have the power to save or sellout our social safety net. So we’re working now to get them on the record about whether they’ll support benefit cuts.
I just signed a petition urging my Senator to answer the question. Learn more and join me by signing the petition here.
