Millions of people can’t afford their Medicare premiums and copays. For 15 years, Congress funded state and local efforts to find and enroll these individuals into programs that can help.

Now, this assistance is in danger of being cut. The proposals under discussion do not yet include continued funding for these efforts—and the issue could be settled as early as this week.

John, that means you can make a difference, but you need to act now.

Leaving these programs unfunded would strip away an important tool used by community-based organizations to help older adults in need.

Congress has funded this work with bipartisan support for 15 years. It's time to do so again.

No one on Medicare should ever have to skip a doctor’s visit or a dose of medicine because of costs. Visit our Action Center to learn more about this issue, customize your message, and send it to your members of Congress. Thank you for making your voice heard!
