Nobody voted on November 8th to destroy Medicare, but Donald Trump and his colleagues in the Republican Party are taking their opportunity at unified government as an opportunity to declare war on Medicare.

Let's not forget: Both Trump and Hillary Clinton ran on protecting Medicare, over the objections of Republicans like Speaker Ryan.

This morning, President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will appoint House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Tom Price as his Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Within minutes, Speaker Paul Ryan praised the selection saying
"Price is the absolute perfect choice for HHS Secretary."
Ryan must be downright giddy over this appointment since Price has been a consistent ally in their fight to dismantle Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Earlier this month Price confirmed Republicans' commitment to destroy Medicare through a parliamentary procedure called reconcilation
If successful, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and Tom Price could bypass a Democratic filibuster to destroy Medicare - forcing seniors to pay out-of-pocket for private health insurance plans.

As HHS Secretary, Price will oversee a $1 trillion budget, including Medicare and Medicaid, which affect over 100 million Americans.

STAND WITH SOCIAL SECURITY WORKS AND SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS IN TELLING CONGRESS:
"NO ONE VOTED TO DESTROY MEDICARE"


Sign the Petition: "No One Voted To Destroy Medicare"

(Petition reads as follows)
"On November 8th, the American people did not vote to destroy Medicare
Your crusade to gut our earned benefits and turn Medicare into a voucher program will force seniors to pay more out of pocket, hurting low and middle income families while enriching the health insurance industry.
We demand that you immediately halt your plans to destroy Medicare and instead maintain President-elect Trump's pledge to preserve Medicare and Social Security."

1. As of 2014 Rep. Price had a net worth of 13. 6 million dollars.

Like all good christian republicans, if it is not needed by him personally, the rest of the nation can just fend for themselves as best they can. After all, for the GCRs, there is nothing more important in life than the pursuit of wealth. I'm sure it is in their bible somewhere, the King Trump version.
