Seniors and health care activists across the country are celebrating the 44th birthday of Medicare today by lobbying for improvements to the program and expanding quality, affordable health care for all.
In more than 30 events in 17 states across the country, members of the Alliance for Retired Americans are honoring Medicare’s success and outlining a positive agenda for comprehensive health care reform legislation that will help current and future retirees.
Thousands of Alliance members are holding birthday parties, sending letters to the editor to their local newspapers and visiting the local offices of lawmakers to call for real health care reform, not cosmetic changes.
