Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to expand Medicare to cover long-term, home-based care, and to reject any of Project 2025's plans to privatize Medicare. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
Social Security Works helps you tell your Congressfolk to expand Medicare so that it covers home-based, long-term care. We're all probably going to need it when we get old! But Medicare, despite covering health care costs that, you know, old folks have to pay, doesn't cover it, and don't let anyone tell you the private sector can just take care of it, because the crap-ass long-term private sector care costs six figures a year. Of course the situation is even worse than that – only Medicaid currently covers long-term care, and you have to spend all your money and sometimes even get divorced to qualify. No one should have to do all of that! It's cruel and evil! So let's get to stepping.
Social Security Works also helps you tell your Congressfolk to reject Project 2025's nefarious plans for Medicare. Which are to make Medicare Advantage – the privatized Medicare health insurance plans that don't cover your needs and siphon off taxpayer money we'd better use to improve real Medicare -- the default option for all new Medicare enrollees, meaning that when you get old enough, they'll automatically put you in a crap-ass Medicare Advantage program that only delivers "advantages" to their executives. “Advantages” in the form of money they don't pay to cover your needs that they redistribute upward to themselves, in case I'm not being clear! So we've got to put a stop to that.
