Washington, D.C. – Congressman Frank Pallone Thursday met with Bayshore seniors to discuss the threat to Medicare and Medicaid from a Republican budget that ends Medicare as we know it by privatizing it and converting it into a voucher program. The plan would also slash Medicaid, which could make nursing homes unaffordable for many seniors. The Republican budget plan would terminate the retirement guarantee of Medicare coverage for all Americans.

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) Thursday sent a letter to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Congressman Frank Wolf and Ranking Member Congressman Chaka Fattah requesting that they increase, not decrease, the Administration’s budget request for fisheries research and management programs.
Washington, DC — Contrary to its claim, the Republican budget fails to address the perennial cycle of payment cuts facing Medicare physicians and beneficiaries at the end of every year. At the end of 2011, payments to physicians in Medicare will be cut by 29.5 percent for 2012 and the reductions will continue for years thereafter. This will jeopardize access to doctors for seniors, people with disabilities, and military families (whose health insurance through TRICARE relies on Medicare’s payment rates for physicians).
