Late last night, Senate Budget Committee Democrats announced their plans
to expand Medicare to include dental, vision, and hearing benefits in the
next budget reconciliation package. This is a significant step forward –
and it wouldn’t have been possible without relentless organizing.

But we’re not across the finish line yet. We must fight to ensure that the
final reconciliation bill includes full coverage of dental, vision, and
hearing benefits, and, we must keep demanding that Congress include
provisions to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices, lower the
eligibility age to 60, and include an out-of-pocket cap. We have an
opportunity to expand and improve health care for millions of people now
if we take action.

You have a
vital role to play. We need you to urge them to support
Medicare expansion at this pivotal moment.

Hi, my name is _____, and I'm calling from Philadelphia.

I’m calling to urge Sens. Casey and Toomey to support Medicare improvements and
expansion in the budget reconciliation package. Specifically:

1) Allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drugs to lower drug prices.

2) Improving Medicare to include dental, hearing, and vision and an
out-of-pocket cap, and

3) Lowering the Medicare eligibility age to 60. 

86% of voters are in support of these policies including 82% of
Republicans. Will they commit to supporting these policies? Thank you for
your time.

At this pivotal moment, they need to hear from you loud and clear that all
three of these demands are a priority and must be included in the
package. 

These policies aren’t a replacement for Medicare for All, which we
continue to fight for every day, but they do represent an immediate
opportunity to improve millions of lives. And by improving and expanding
Medicare, we can immediately begin to take on the greed of the private
insurance and pharmaceutical industries.

[ [link removed] ]We’ve never been closer to seeing these major improvements to Medicare
included in the budget reconciliation package, and by taking a few minutes
today to make a call to Sens. Casey and Toomey, you can help us win this fight.

Thank you for taking action today – let’s do this!
