Medicare & Medicaid: American as Apple Pie!
Dear NYC Congressional Delegation -
We call on you to do the right thing and “protect, improve, and expand” (“PIE”) our important health care programs, Medicare and Medicaid!
These programs are celebrating 50 years of success as they provide a lifeline for millions of New Yorkers.
Republican Congressional leaders have made proposals to drastically cut spending on and radically change these two bedrock programs. We need you to stand with the people of New York and Staten Island. Don't cut these programs; protect, improve, expand.
