What are you plans for Medicare's 42nd birthday? I have some suggestions.
- You can read this comprehensive defense of the program at The Health Care Blog.
- You can read any or all of the articles the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities have posted about the SCHIP/Medicare Advantage struggle that the White House has enjoined.
Congressional Budget Office Estimates Show Large Gains In Children's Health Coverage Under Senate SCHIP Bill |
After that, the best gift would be to pick up the phone to call your Senators to let them know that you support Medicare and want them to save it from privatization:
- DROP THE FILIBUSTER and allow the federal government to negotiate for lower prescription drugs
- STOP the overpayments to the Medicare Advantage plans
- PASS SCHIP and cover the 5 million uninsured children of America's working poor
