John,

Fifty-six years ago today, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law -- helping to ensure seniors and low-income families had access to the affordable, quality health care they deserve. Today, Medicare and Medicaid provide health care coverage to millions of Americans across the country, including more than 1.6 million Washingtonians.

As a doctor, Kim has seen firsthand how vital these programs have been in keeping our families and communities healthy. That's why in Congress, she's fought back against Republican attacks on these programs and even wrote the bill to expand Medicare coverage to include vision benefits.

Kim will always work to expand access to affordable health care for everyone, but she needs your help. Chip in before our end-of-month deadline to help keep Kim fighting in Congress to protect Medicare and Medicaid.
