Thursday, July 28th, 2011, 12:00 Noon, Glendale, WI ~ In observance of the 46th Anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare Citizen Action of Wisconsin Staged a Medicaid/Medicare Anniversary Funeral Event in front of Wisconsin State Senator Alberta Darlings campaign office at 311 W. Silver Spring Drive.
Medicaid and Medicare as we have known them for five decades are now deeply threatened by Paul Ryan’s budget plan, which Senator Darling supports. The national debt limit crisis has intensified the threat to these vital and widely popular public commitments. In addition, as Co-Chair of the Legislature’s budget writing committee, Alberta Darling pushed through Scott Walker’s state budget which slashed $500 million from Wisconsin’s Medicaid programs, including BadgerCare and FamilyCare.
The people of Senator Darling’s District successfully “recalled” her and she now faces Sandy Pasch in an August 9th election.

You seem to concerned about the financial integrity of Medicare. Perhaps you do not realize that ” Obamacare” removes $ 500 billion from Medicare and transfers the money to Medicaid; that would hardly preserve Medicare.
