99 days to Blue Wave 2018 AND Chris Smith's unseating!

July 30th marks the 53rd anniversary of the passage of Medicare and Medicaid! Ann Vardeman* of NJ Citizen Action will be back to explain what's at stake today and how to protect our health care.

WHEN: Wednesday, Aug 1, 4-5:00 p.m.
WHERE: Congressman Smith’s Office – 112 Village Center Drive, Raintree Shopping Center, Freehold
WHAT: Rally to tell Chris Smith to vote against any cuts to Medicaid and Medicare that will devastate families: children, seniors, and people with disabilities, to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy! 

*Ann stood with us every week right up until she went on maternity leave, and kept us fully informed on all things health care. Welcome Back! Come support her return and hear her message.

"Now, more than ever before, health care is at risk. Congressional leaders are introducing plans to cut hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare, including introducing a privatization scheme, cutting $1.3 TRILLION from Medicaid, and dramatically cutting Social Security Disability. At the same time Brett Kavanaugh, if confirmed, will vote to roll back decades of health care progress including dismantling the preexisting conditions protections included in the Affordable Care Act."
