Protecting the Medicare Guarantee

Pelosi Update

Protecting the Medicare Guarantee
Democrats repeatedly supported a big, bold, and balanced plan to reduce our deficit and grow our economy. Unfortunately, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction failed to reach a balanced agreement due to Republican insistence on extending the Bush tax cuts for people making more than a million dollars a year, repealing the Medicare guarantee, and refusal to support a jobs plan. My Democratic colleagues and I will continue our efforts to pass President Obama’s American Jobs Act and our “Make It In America” Initiative; putting Americans back to work and revitalizing our economy.

Questions Concerning Your Retirement and Health Benefits?
The Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) recently created a new consumer assistance web page that will provide users with links to various tools and useful publications and a venue to submit questions and complaints about health and retirement plans electronically. For assistance regarding a pension, health, or other employee benefit plan, please visit the site or call the EBSA at (866) 444-3277.

Giving Thanks
This Thursday, families in San Francisco and across the country will sit down together and give thanks. As we show our gratitude for the comfort of our loved ones and the many blessings of American liberty, let us remember those who are struggling to put food on the table for their families during these difficult economic times.

Best wishes to you and your family for safe travels and a wonderful beginning to this year’s holiday season.
