A commitment to Medicare as personal as yours.

Notes: From the press release, the ad...

highlights the president’s commitment to preserving Medicare for today’s seniors and for future generations. Raised by his grandparents, President Obama understands the importance of Medicare – which is why fighting Medicare fraud has long been a top priority for him.
 
As part of that effort, President Obama is leading the most successful crackdown on health care fraud in our country’s history. The Obama Administration extended the life of the Medicare Trust Fund by, among other measures, cutting waste and subsidies, in addition to recovering more than $4 billion dollars from health care scams last year alone.
 
While President Obama is standing by America’s seniors and strengthening Medicare, Mitt Romney would end the program as we know it and likely make seniors pay more for health care. Romney wants to turn Medicare into a voucher program to help pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, which would move our country backward and hurt the middle class. That’s why President Obama is running for re-election -- to move our country forward because America cannot afford to go back.
