VIDEO: Happy 59th Birthday Medicare and Medicaid

Celebrating 59 years of Medicare and Medicaid, Sen. Baldwin emphasizes their vital role in providing essential healthcare to millions, including seniors, those with disabilities, and children.
Despite repeated efforts by Republicans to cut these programs, she remains committed to protecting and expanding them, ensuring more Americans have access to affordable care.

Baldwin also highlights recent progress, such as enabling Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, and calls for further efforts to close healthcare coverage gaps, particularly in Wisconsin.
Her opponent, Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde, has frequently referred to programs like Medicare as “entitlements” rather than an earn benefit that Americans paid into throughout their working lives—and has said benefits “absolutely” need to be trimmed.
