Thursday, July 28th, 2011, 12:00 Noon, Glendale, WI ~ In observance of the 46th Anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare\u00a0Citizen Action of Wisconsin<\/a> Staged a\u00a0Medicaid\/Medicare Anniversary Funeral Event in front of Wisconsin State Senator Alberta Darlings campaign office at 311 W. Silver Spring Drive.<\/p>\n

Medicaid and Medicare as we have known them for five decades are now deeply threatened by Paul Ryan\u2019s budget plan<\/a>, which\u00a0Senator Darling supports<\/a>. 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\u2019s budget writing committee, Alberta Darling pushed through Scott Walker\u2019s state budget which slashed $500 million from Wisconsin\u2019s Medicaid programs, including BadgerCare and FamilyCare.<\/p>\n

The people of Senator Darling’s District successfully “recalled” her and she now faces Sandy Pasch<\/a> in an August 9th election.<\/p>\n
