Keith Fitzgerald Statement on Congressman Paul Ryan as VP Nominee

Statement

Date: Aug. 11, 2012
Issues: Senior Citizens Entitlements and the Safety Net Health Insurance

Keith Fitzgerald, former state representative and candidate for U.S. Congress in Florida's 16th district, released the following statement today in response to Congressman Paul Ryan being named the Vice Presidential nominee.

"Over 190,000 seniors living in Manatee and Sarasota counties experience first-hand the benefits of Medicare. Earlier this year, the Paul Ryan-Vern Buchanan budget plan attempted to turn Medicare into a voucher-like program which should never be a solution to solving our nation's budget woes. Our community deserves pragmatic, common sense ideas to solve our nation's budget challenges, but they can't be on the backs of Suncoast seniors and middle class families," said Keith Fitzgerald.
