Proposed cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security benefits would hurt tens of millions of Americans. It would also devastate countless hospitals, medical practices, retirement communities, clinics, and the people they serve. All will endure hardship and pain if the cuts happen. We're fighting back with our Emergency Coalition to Save Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. We've created the website KeepOurPromise.org to empower this critically important effort. Tell our politicians to keep our promise between generations and among all Americans to preserve, protect--expand and improve--Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

The debt ceiling deal does not raise any revenues. It cuts $1.2 trillion from programs now and $2.5 trillion more to come. Automatic "triggers" could slash Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, unless we do something about it now. KeepOurPromise is protecting Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. We work with friendly members of Congress and pressure other members not to sacrifice our safety net. We're working to turn back the Tea Party efforts to defund and destroy Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. Will you contribute to help us?

Contact elected officials and tell them Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are not "broke," and do not add to the deficit or debt. They should cut corporate profiteering--not benefits. Make sure they know that if they slash these life-saving and cost-effective programs, you will never vote for them again.
