Medicaid is the program most of those "uninsured" will enter at that time
Time for Medicare for All?

national call in days social security cost of living proposal
National Call-In Days: July 14-15
Your Social Security benefits are under attack by politicians in Washington. They want to:
Cut Social Security’s Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) to reduce the deficit. But Social Security doesn’t contribute a penny to the deficit.
Raid Social Security by using your contributions to give a tax break to Wall Street banks, Big Oil and other corporations.
They shouldn’t get another taxpayer handout. Social Security belongs to you. You pay for it in every paycheck. Don’t let them cut it or raid it!
Call your Senators on Thursday and Friday, July 14-15, at 1-866-251-4044.
Tell them:
NO cuts to Social Security!
NO cuts to Social Security’s COLA!
NO Social Security payroll tax holiday!

Last election, we shared resources and time during elections; which we always do. This election: I will share nothing except negatives with folks voting to cut social security, medicare and medicaid. seems Washington has time and resources for millionairs and wall street, but screw seniors, kids and about everyone else.
Hell of a campaign position. Hell of a position of folks wishing to retake the house. Very difficult to defend and impossible to promote in Missouri and Southern Illinois
Of course, most dems ran such a poor campaign that teabag and gop easily beat them for their own stayed home.
Some of Soar 11-3 stayed home and did not vote as well last election. happens when bozo campaign run very poor election efforts.
