Larson to Hold Town Hall on GOP Plan to End Medicare

HARTFORD – Congressman John Larson (CT-01) will hold a town hall meeting this Friday in West Hartford to discuss how the Republican Budget will affect senior citizens throughout the state and country.

Under the Republican Budget, which was passed over unanimous Democratic opposition last month, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security would all see major changes - with seniors and working families seeing higher costs and less service while billionaires and corporations getting even deeper tax breaks.

Recently over 470 groups include AARP, National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, National Council on Aging and Leadership Council of Aging Organizations have written to Congress in opposition of the Republican plan.

The event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend.

WHEN: Friday, May, 6 2011 – 11:45 a.m.
