Robert -- For nearly 50 years, Medicaid and Medicare have helped millions of Americans retire with peace of mind -- but neither of those programs came easily. In fact, the 1960s fights to secure a stable future for retirees are reminiscent of the battles we see surrounding health care today. Back then, opponents attacked Medicare as a threat to freedom -- warning that expanding health care coverage would have dire consequences. For organizers who have fought to make Obamacare a reality, those objections probably sound familiar. Today, those programs are beloved by millions, because they work. But growing numbers of Americans are retiring -- and we have to do more to ensure that we can protect retirement security for decades to come. We have to keep working to give security to every generation in America -- show your support today. Thanks to Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and Obamacare reforms, every American senior has access to affordable health care. And millions of people have been saved from poverty, going on to live longer, healthier lives. Preparation for retirement is more complicated in modern days. Too many folks don't have an option to invest in an employer-sponsored 401(k), and legal standards for nursing homes and retirement investors need to be updated. With America's retirement-age population growing, we need to be doing more, not less, to reinforce retirement security. The bottom line is this: There's more work to do.
