Maryland Democrats Slam Larry Hogan for Seeking to Empower Republicans Who Want to Gut Medicare

Jul 30, 2024

Hogan could be the 51st seat Republicans need to sunset Medicare

Today, on the 58th anniversary of Medicare, Maryland Democratic Party spokesperson Lindsay Reilly released the following statement:

“Senate Republicans want to put Medicare on the chopping block every five years – and Republican Larry Hogan could empower them to do it. Hogan recently said he’s open to supporting Republican Rick Scott, the architect of Senate Republicans’ plan to gut Medicare, for Senate GOP leader – a risk that the more than one million Maryland seniors, pregnant women, families, people with disabilities, and others who rely on Medicare for quality, affordable health coverage can’t afford. Marylanders understand the stakes of this election and won’t let Larry Hogan hand the Senate’s 51st seat over to Republicans.”
