John,
Over the next week, Senators are finalizing the $3.5 trillion package that Congress will pass with a simple majority vote. Republicans can’t block it, so if Democrats agree, it will become law.
This is a critical period for our priorities―particularly Medicare expansion.
Call your Senators at 202-509-9128 and urge them to expand Medicare by:
✅ Covering dental, vision, and hearing care; and capping out-of-pocket expenses ✅ Lowering the Medicare eligibility age ✅ Giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices
To finally expand Medicare, we’ll need pressure from the inside and the outside. Your calls will strengthen the organizing we’re doing inside the Capitol.
The upcoming votes will be a pivotal opportunity for our Social Security system. Republicans have already signaled that they plan to try to force cuts to Social Security and Medicare during must-pass legislation. The best defense against this legislative malfeasance is to keep pressing to improve and expand these essential programs!
Can you make a $5 contribution to fuel our work to finally expand Medicare, and fight back against proposals to harm Social Security and Medicare when they come up?
Thanks,
Michael Phelan Social Security Works
