I just got an email about DT's new budget idea to take $800 Billion out of Medicare!

I sent an email to the White House & to my rep. & both sens. advising them that a vote for this reduction will insure their defeat in the next election! Please send an email yourself so we can get their attention!

My husband & I are living on SS & pay several hundred $ per month (it's deducted from our SS check) and another almost $300 per month for a medicare supplement. We can't afford any medicare cuts.

My email from WeareProgressives.com

Trump just proposed his 2020 budget with heart-stopping $818 BILLION cuts to Medicare!

Fortunately, that's DOA in the House. Probably Senate, too. TreasonousBastard Jul 2019 #1

But that doesn't mean we can't beat Trump about the head and shoulders (rhetorically, not literally) with this proposal, and make sure the most vulnerable among his supporters know what Trump would like to do to them.

Go ahead and write your congresscritter, that's always a good idea anyway, but there's no way a Dem House will even read that proposal.
