An Open Letter to Bethany Hall-Long
Dear Bethany,
I am writing to you today as a concerned citizen who believes in the importance of protecting the healthcare benefits of retirees. As you know, there is an ongoing controversy regarding the future of retiree health insurance, specifically the adoption of “Medicare Advantage” which is not Medicare, but an expensive, low-quality, privatized, fraudulently named, inferior product.
I wanted to reach out to you personally and ask if you would be willing to make a commitment to not privatize retiree health insurance if you are elected and become the 75th Governor of Delaware. On May 9th at 1:00pm many retirees and advocates in our state who believe that privatizing Medicare would be a disservice will be rallying at Leg Hall. Would you be willing to show your support for those who have earned and paid for their healthcare benefits?
As a candidate for office, I believe it is important for you to take a clear stance on this issue and let voters know where you stand. Will you commit to protecting the rights of retirees to have access to Original Medicare ? Will you stand up against Governor John Carney’s attempts to privatize Medicare and ensure that retirees have access to the healthcare benefits they have earned?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter and hope that you will join me in supporting the healthcare needs of our retirees.
Sincerely,
Jason330
