. Joe Baker, Pres., Medicare Rights Center, serves on the US Dept.
of Health and Human Services Medicare/Medicaid Advisory Panel,
former NYS Deputy Sec'y for Health and Human Services under
Gov. David Paterson
. Timothy Casey, Senior Staff Attorney with Legal Momentum

Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Both political parties seem willing to
sacrifice key elements of these programs at the altar of the budget deficit
