They Will Stop At Nothing





Harry Reid and Senate Democrats will stop at nothing to pass their government takeover of American health care.

Imagine this: to pay for their ‘health care reform package,’ Senate Democrats have now voted to cut $450 billion in Medicare funding!

Last week, Harry Reid and all but two Senate Democrats voted against my amendment to eliminate these cuts which include deep reductions to the Medicare Advantage Program, hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices. Even the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office reported that these cuts "could reduce or diminish the quality of care."

Senate Republicans are proposing amendments that would lower costs and increase the quality of health care while Senate Democrats are pushing a plan that will create a massive new government bureaucracy, raise premiums, raise taxes, and raid the funding of Medicare that American seniors rely on. Join the majority of Americans who oppose Senator Reid's plan.

Sign this petition
to let Democrats know that you do not support the government takeover of your health benefits. We cannot afford to allow this legislation to pass.

Sincerely, Senator John McCain

PS: Before the vote on my amendment to eliminate the cuts to Medicare, I asked Nebraska voters to
sign a petition and urge Sen. Ben Nelson to oppose the cuts. It was effective. Sen. Nelson was one of just two Democrats to vote with us, and I appreciated his support.
Sign this petition
and maybe others will follow his lead!
