Connolly Urges Obama to Leave Medicaid Alone

By Potomac Local News
Gerry Connolly (D-11-Fairfax, Prince William)

Today, Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and other members of the House Democratic Caucus Seniors Task Force, chaired by Congresswomen Doris Matsui (D-CA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), sent a letter to President Obama asking that he protect Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security as he continues to work on a deal to raise the debt ceiling. The Task Force stressed that cuts to benefits in these programs would have a profoundly negative impact on the lives, and health, of older Americans.

Congresswoman Matsui stated, “Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are vitally important programs in our country, especially for our nation’s seniors – they should in no way be used as a playing card in the political game that is the debt deal. While we are ready and willing to work to improve these programs and shore up their solvency, a cut to benefits is simply out of the question.”

The Indians did strike first in the game, cashing in on Rosenbaum’s only walk, which came in the fourth. Adam Abraham earned the free pass, moved to third on Jeremie Tice’s single, then scored on Abner Abreu’s sacrifice fly that made it 1-0 Indians. The walk broke up a string of nine consecutive hitters retired by the Nationals’ lefty.
