Urgent—Protect Social Security and Medicare: Lives Depend on It

I am writing to you with an urgent plea: do everything in your power to stop the attacks on Social Security and Medicare. These programs are not just numbers on a budget sheet—they are the lifeline that keeps millions of people, including myself, alive. Without them, disabled individuals like me will die. That is not an exaggeration; it is our reality. The ongoing threats to cut, privatize, or otherwise dismantle these essential programs have left many of us terrified. Every day, I wake up with the fear that the support I rely on to survive—medical care, prescriptions, basic income—could be stripped away. I cannot afford to lose this fight, and neither can the millions of Americans who depend on these programs to live with dignity. Furthermore, any attempt to grant private individuals like Elon Musk or corporate entities access to these funds or decision-making power is not only immoral but illegal. Social Security and Medicare belong to the people who paid into them and rely on them—not billionaires seeking profit. We cannot allow greed to dictate who gets to live and who is left to suffer.
