Privatization of Medicare and Social Security

This is a non-partisan issue:

Tell Sen. Rubio: Don’t Privatize Medicare or Social Security

President-elect Donald Trump has put forward plans to privatize some of our nation’s vital services. Working people are concerned that he may consider House Speaker Paul Ryan’s Medicare privatization plan, as well as Social Security privatization. This would be devastating for people who rely on these programs.

Tell Sen. Rubio to oppose Medicare and Social 

Security privatization.

Here’s how you can help:

Step 1: Address Sen. Rubio - 1650 Prudential Dr #220, Jacksonville, FL 32207

• Dear Sen. Rubio,

Step 2: Share Something Personal

• Write something personal about why you care about preserving Medicare and Social Security. Tell him why these services are important to you.

Step 3: Make the Point That Our Communities Rely on Medicare and Social Security, and Privatization Does Not Work

• Last year, over 4 million Floridians benefited from Medicare, and over 570,000 relied on Supplemental Security Income through Social Security.
• Instead of reducing health care costs, Ryan’s plan would likely increase them.
• Medicare as we know it is already efficient, and offers health care at rock-bottom costs.

Step 4: Sign the Letter

• Sign your letter and include your mailing address. It also is good to provide your phone number and email address.

If you want to write a letter and mail it, you can use the following format. It doesn't need to be long or complicated. OR if you would prefer to return your letter to me, I can have them hand delivered to Senator Rubio. Email your letters to me at floridalegalforms@gmail.com and please send them as a doc or pdf attachment. Thank you!

A sample letter could go something like this:

December __, 2016

To: Senator Rubio

From: Ella M. Roe

Re: Do not privatize Social Security or Medicare

Dear Senator Rubio,

I am a 95 year-old woman with glaucoma. I rely on Medicare and Social Security. I have lived and worked in Florida since 1956. My deductibles are low and I would prefer that they stay that way. If Social Security and Medicare were privatized I don’t know how I would survive.

Protect Floridians and please do not allow either of these programs to be privatized.

Ella M. Roe
