DCCC: List of Republicans who welched on promise to protect Medicare in 2010


More than two dozen House Republicans have broken 2010 campaign promises pledging to protect Medicare or fight attempts to cut or privatize the program. Hypocritically, these members of Congress voted to end the program on April 15, 2011.

“What a difference six months makes.  Six months ago, dozens of Republicans were campaigning to fight cuts to Medicare and now they not only voted to cut Medicare, but to end it altogether,” said Jesse Ferguson of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Ferguson added:

Despite their campaign promises, Republicans voted to end Medicare, reducing benefits and increasing costs to seniors, to pay for Big Oil taxpayer giveaways and the ultra rich’s tax breaks.
