Rep. Maloney Addresses Queens Seniors on Medicare’s 45th Anniversary, Efforts to Save Program from GOP Assault
Queens, NY – Today, on the 45th anniversary of the beginning of the Medicare program, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Queens, Manhattan) spoke to seniors at the HANAC Senior Center in Astoria about her efforts to fight plans put forward by the Republican House majority to end Medicare as we know it. President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare into law on July 30, 1965 -- and on July 1, 1966, enrollees first entered the program. On April 15th of this year, House Republicans passed a budget by a vote of 235 to 193 that would end Medicare as we know it – instead giving seniors an increasingly inadequate subsidy to buy private insurance.
