These programs that were once deemed controversial are now mainstream and accepted as essential to the wellbeing of those who are eligible. As an advocate of Medicare for All, I know the safety net programs can be expanded and improved but, especially on this anniversary, I stand with those who want to make Medicare and Medicaid stronger and better and against proposals, like those advocated by House Speaker Paul Ryan, that would slash federal funding for these lifesaving programs. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
