In response to a new report revealing that “policy changes ushered in by the president and the Republican Congress” are jeopardizing Medicare, today Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman David Bergstein released the following statement:
“Here’s what Republicans have done with their total control of Washington: a health care plan that imposes an age tax on older Americans and a tax scam that jeopardizes the Medicare seniors have earned. The GOP’s agenda is all about helping the wealthy and well-connected at the expense of middle class Americans — but their wrong priorities and expensive, unpopular proposals will drag down every one of their Senate candidates.”
Washington Post: A crucial Medicare trust fund will run out three years earlier than predicted, new report says.
