The bill summary follows:



AJR 7, Bonta. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.


This measure would request the President and the United States Congress to exclude social security, Medicare, and Medicaid from being a part of any legislation to reduce the federal deficit. This measure would express the Legislature’s opposition to cuts to social security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and call on California’s representatives to the United States Congress to vote against cuts to social security, Medicare, and Medicaid and to consider improving those systems in ways that would strengthen their protections
