Keep Medicare Fair

Over the last several days, 105,000 people have signed the KeepMedicareFair.org petition to keep Congress from raising Medicare premiums even higher to cover skyrocketing health care costs!

 

That’s great news and here’s why: last December, when more than 100,000 people got involved in AARP’s campaign to strengthen Medicare, the Senate only passed a temporary measure, set to expire THIS June.

Today, as Congress is deciding what to do once the temporary measure expires, we need to collect 200,000 signatures on our petition to Keep Medicare Fair — will you help?

Now is the time that we need to hear from you!

Click here to sign the KeepMedicareFair.org petition and help us meet our 200,000 signature goal.

Did you know that:

  • Monthly premiums for Medicare beneficiaries have more than doubled since 2000 and
  • Out-of-pocket health costs are skyrocketing – the hospital deductible alone is over $1,000?

Your support has never been more important.  If Congress does not do the right thing, older Americans will be forced to pay even higher premiums on top of their already skyrocketing out-of-pocket health care costs.

 

Time is running out, and we cannot let our Members of Congress stand by while Medicare premiums continue to rise even higher.  We need to keep Medicare’s premiums fair.

Help us double our impact and sign the KeepMedicareFair.org petition today!

Once you take action, you can really help us reach our goal of 200,000 petitions by forwarding this email to your friends and family.  We need to make sure that all Members of Congress hear from us – and not just the special interests and their lobbyists.
