Help protect Medicare’s future—support our 2025 Annual Benefit on Oct 28!
Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provide critical health coverage and financial protections to millions of older adults, people with disabilities, and families with low incomes. Together, these programs help pay for hospital and outpatient care, prescription drugs, long-term services and supports, and other essential needs. The Medicare Rights Center opposes harmful cuts and structural changes that would undermine access to care, increase costs, or reduce benefits. We support policies that strengthen and protect these programs for current and future generations.
