Happy Anniversary to Medicare and Medicaid (July 30) and Social Security (August 14)!

Join us this Friday, July 29 @ 11 a.m. outside the New York City offices of Senator Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Sen. Charles Schumer in midtown Manhattan (3rd Ave. & 48th St.) to celebrate these three bedrock social programs that are beloved by Americans and our families across the political spectrum!

• Medicare provides health care to 64 million people in the US, and nearly 4 million New Yorkers.
• Medicaid provides health care to 88 million people across the US, and over 8 million New Yorkers.
• Social Security provides income support to 70 million retirees, people with disabilities, and child and spousal survivors of deceased workers.

Our mantra is "Keep 'em strong, and pass 'em along!"  

...and we have LOTS of good ideas about how to protect and defend these programs, and how to improve and expand them for more people.

We're also excited about the new bill that Congress is poised to pass next week that will lower drug prices and cap Rx drug co-pays for people on Medicare. After a 20-year campaign, Congress is finally standing up to #BigPharma to curb their long-running price-gouging and profiteering! This bill will also keep expanded premium subsidies for Affordable Care Act health plans in place for another 3 years.

All are welcome, and please bring along colleagues, friends, and family! Senators Gillibrand and Schumer will be hard at work down in DC finalizing important bills before their August recess, but staff from both Senators' offices will be joining us to hear our remarks and respond to them. We'll gathering outside on the plaza in front of the office building in order to keep everyone safe during the current COVID-19 omichron BA5 outbreak. Please wear a face mask.
