The Truth About Budget Cuts

In November, activists across the country joined together to stop Republicans who wanted to cut Medicaid and Medicare as part of the super committee process.

Unfortunately, we don't have much time to celebrate. Republican leaders are already proposing new plans that would undo last summer's budget agreement. That means Medicare and Medicaid could be put back on the chopping block – all so the super rich don't have to pay their fair share.

This new video explains exactly what's going on. Check it out, then get involved in the fight to protect Medicare and Medicaid! It's easy to do, and it can make a big difference for seniors, children, and people with disabilities in your community. Just take one (or more) of the actions below.
