Happy Birthday Medicare!

On July 30th, 1965, Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare

and Medicaid into law, providing healthcare to millions

of seniors, low income people, and people with

disabilities.  Within a year, the civil rights movement

used Medicare and the threat of withholding federal

dollars to immediately desegregate US hospitals.  The

original intent of Medicare was to cover all Americans. 

May we keep on working until Healthcare

as a Human right become a reality for all Americans. 

We will have committee reports and then discuss the past primary election as well as the recent

Supreme Court decisions and other current events  –   as well as brainstorm about what we can focus

on as a club going forward.   Especially in times like these, we need to continue  to push the

Democratic Party to do better.

They need People Power to win!
