NY-11 for Health Care

Some politicians in Washington are taking steps to drastically cut spending on federal health care and housing programs in order to pay for huge tax cuts for big corporations and billionaires. Show up to find out what's happening, and what you can do to take action!

No matter what kind of health insurance you and your family have --Medicaid, Medicare, Child Health Plus, Essential Plan, or Affordable Care Act-- your coverage is coming under attack. In addition, our hospitals, community health centers, nursing homes, and home care programs will lose the funding they need to serve all of us. In addition, housing programs like Section 8 will also be devastated by large spending cuts.

NY-11 Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, who serves Staten Island and southwest Brooklyn in Congress, recently cast the deciding vote in Congress for a budget plan that has set this legislative process in motion. We're inviting her to come talk to everyday Staten Islanders about her views on this matter, and to hear from us about what these important federal health care programs mean to us, our families, and our communities.

Health care professionals, workers, advocates, and patients will also explain what's going on, and help us understand what we can do to protect and improve the health care programs we all count on. We'll also be sharing our own personal stories about what these programs mean to us, and what it would mean to lose them.

Join us on Wed. eve March 19 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the YMCA Gerard Carter Center located at 230 Broad St. in Stapleton. From the St. George ferry terminal, take the SIR two stops to Stapleton, or the S51, S74, S78 bus,
