John,
Donald Trump is getting desperate. After a 4-year assault on Social Security and Medicare, he’s desperate for the votes of older Americans. Unfortunately, he only has one idea for what to do with Social Security and Medicare: Raid their trust funds.
After unilaterally terminating Social Security’s dedicated funding for the rest of the year, Trump is now raiding Medicare’s trust fund to pay to send letters to seniors before the election, promising them a $200 pharma gift card.
Trump campaigned in 2016 on the promise that he would take on Big Pharma and protect Social Security and Medicare. It was a lie.
Instead of taking on Pharma, Trump is raiding Medicare for a political stunt. And even if he loses, the remaining Republicans in Congress who have spent the past 55 years trying to destroy Medicare will claim that the diminished trust fund is one more reason to privatize it.
We’re fighting back, making sure that seniors know that Donald Trump is raiding Medicare for a cheap political stunt. Together, we’re going to make sure the votes of seniors can’t be bought! Chip in $7 today!
Thanks,
Michael Phelan Social Security Works
