This is a five-alarm fire …

The House of Representatives just passed H.R. 1 — a cruel and reckless bill that puts America’s seniors squarely on the chopping block.

Now it heads to the Senate. And unless we stop it, millions of older Americans could pay the price.

H.R. 1 represents the worst of all worlds:

• Seniors who wish to remain in their homes and communities will likely be forced to seek care in nursing homes instead, because the deep cuts to Medicaid will leave many states with no choice but to cut or even eliminate their programs supporting Home and Community Based Services (HCBS).
  

• This bill offers a staggering giveaway to millionaires, billionaires and large, profitable corporations — while millions of older Americans continue to struggle to afford their housing, food and prescription drug costs.
  

• While it’s being billed as “fiscal responsibility” by GOP leaders and President Trump, H.R. 1 is a “deficit reduction” scam that will actually add trillions to the national debt.
  

If this bill becomes law, millions of older Americans will immediately be cut off from basic health care and access to critical supportive services that help them age with dignity — all so the wealthiest Americans can pocket more money they don’t need.

We must stop this in the Senate. Now.

The National Committee is turning up the pressure — appearing in national media to expose the truth about H.R. 1 … writing op-eds in local and national newspapers to inform and mobilize the public … equipping our dedicated grassroots supporters with the facts and tools they need to speak out … and taking your message directly to lawmakers in Washington. But we also urgently need your financial support to bolster our full-scale campaign.

Please RUSH the most generous contribution you can afford today to help us stop H.R. 1 — now on the fast track in the U.S. Senate — and protect the programs you and your loved ones are counting on for a secure and healthy retirement.

And then CALL YOUR U.S. SENATORS AT (202) 224-3121 and tell them to reject H.R. 1 dead in its tracks.

The ultra-rich don’t need more government handouts. But seniors do need continued access to the health care they are counting on and deserve — now more than ever.

With your help, we can send an unmistakable message to the U.S. Senate: “No tax breaks for billionaires paid for with cuts to seniors’ programs!”

Please, chip in today. We are counting on you.

Sincerely,

Max Richtman
