We the undersigned oppose Medicare cuts because they will result in denial of health care to elderly people, resulting in unconstitutional medical rationing. We ask that Medicare Advantage and Medicare part B be maintained, so that the elderly can continue to access the medications, treatment, and medical attention that they need. We believe that cost control can better be achieved by restrictions on elective procedures unrelated to serious, life-threatening diseases and conditions. With the exception of such procedures, we oppose medical rationing in any form, as it will inevitably result in discrimination against the handicapped and the elderly.

    • THEY SHOULDN'T CUT MEDICAL BENEFITS WHICH ELDERLY AND DISABLED CITIZENS NEED. SOME OF US HAVE URGENT NEEDS, WITHOUT THOSE BENEFITS, OUR HEALTHS WILL DETERIORATE RESULTING EARLY DEATH OR MORE CRIPPLING HEALTHS.

    • As a working American I feel there should be all the needed services with Medicare.I strongly do not agree that there has to be supplements for medical services and medications. I have worked in the medical field for 33 years and have seen it first hand the impact it has put on our seniors. I have seen where it is about impossible for them to be able to run a household , It is like a toss up . Do we eat or do we pay for medications to substain lile. We owe it to our seniors to make sure they are covered for the medical needs, and everyday life expenses
