Social Security Works ... Trump is President, but nobody voted to destroy Medicare

Trump is President, but nobody voted to destroy Medicare to me Logo Peter,

Donald Trump was just sworn in as President, but that doesn't change the fact that no one voted to destroy Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.

But Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is already making plans to overthrow the will of the American people by destroying Medicare. And Trump’s (or maybe Mike Pence’s) pick to run Medicare and Medicaid, Rep. Tom Price, is a close Ryan ally who wants to cut Medicare by $449 billion. In his Inaugural Address, President Trump promised to listen to the people—he can prove that by promising to veto any bill that cuts Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.

President Trump must make it clear that he is not a puppet of Paul Ryan, and he will keep his promise and veto any bill that cuts Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. Sign here to send him a message!

We are not giving an inch. From November 9th on, we have been organizing and delivered more than one million petition signatures to Speaker Ryan and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell reminding them that no one voted to destroy Medicare.

I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me.
