SEIU wants to stymie healthcare cuts

Dear friend,

Sometimes our representatives in Washington lose their way.

It’s as simple as this: America needs good jobs, not more healthcare cuts.

Democratic and Republican members of the congressional "Super-Committee" are poised to cut Medicare and Medicaid rather than end tax giveaways for big corporations and millionaires.

That’s just plain wrong.

Please call to tell your member of Congress that they cannot support a Super-Committee deal that takes away the healthcare that seniors and working families are counting on and cripples jobs. Here’s the number:

877-736-7831

Recent news reports say that these members of Congress are reviewing proposals that include staggering cuts to Medicaid and Medicare to the tune of $500 billion or more.

Cuts of this magnitude would be a terrible deal for 99% of Americans and especially disastrous for seniors, people with disabilities and children who rely on these lifesaving healthcare services. America’s middle class is hurting. Instead of cutting healthcare and cutting jobs, it's time for Congress to ask millionaires and big corporations to do their part in reducing our nation’s deficit.

Call your member(s) of Congress and tell them that to say NO to any deal that cuts Medicaid and Medicare and yes to protecting the jobs that get America working again:

877-736-7831

Keep Fighting,

Mary Kay Henry
SEIU International President
