On Tuesday, July 19 2011, Michigan Citizen Action will be joined by a delegation of seniors, parents, workers, and advocates in Grand Rapids to call upon Congressman Justin Amash to firmly oppose any deal to raise the debt ceiling that includes cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security while billionaires and corporate CEOs continue to get tax breaks that drain money from the budget. Additionally, constituents will raise questions about Congressman Amash’s recent vote for the Republican (Ryan) budget that would slash Medicaid spending by one third and would also end Medicare as we know it by replacing guaranteed benefits with vouchers for a fixed amount that seniors would use to buy private insurance.
