This year marks the 50th anniversaries of Medicare and Medicaid and the 80th anniversary of Social Security. Fifty-seven percent of people on Medicare, 70 percent of adults on Medicaid and 56 percent of Social Security recipients (66 percent of those over 85) are women. Together, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid provide critical health and financial security.

    • While Social Security is a program that is vitally important to all Americans, it is especially important to the financial security of women. There are a number of reasons why this is so. First of all, women live longer than men.
  • Medicare and Women.
    • Medicare, combined with Social Security, has improved the economic status of older Americans and  younger people with disabilities. Prior to Medicare, one - half of older Americans were uninsured and one - third were living in poverty. Today, with access to health care coverage, the poverty rate for seniors is nine percent.

What the GOP's Sleight of Hand Budgeting and Deflection Politics Means for Social Security & Medicare

The American people must not be distracted by the ongoing political show to the point that they miss the real action occurring behind the scenes.

However, some conservatives in Congress insist that relief for programs like the Older Americans Act be paid for by cutting Medicare and Medicaid. This budgetary sleight-of-hand could trade partial relief for some seniors’ programs by cutting other essential health security programs like Medicare and Medicaid, thus further eroding the tenuous economic situation many older Americans face.

While a shutdown would not threaten payment of Social Security checks or Medicare and Medicaid benefits, Social Security Administration employees could face furloughs which could stop or slow the processing of new applications for benefits, and requests by current beneficiaries for changes of address or replacement Medicare cards.

Do you want to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid from benefit cuts? Then join us in a National Call-In Day to Congress and tell your lawmakers: Protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid from benefit cuts. Repeal the “sequester” and close loopholes for Wall Street and the wealthiest 2% of Americans instead.
