Add Your Support to Saving Medical Assistance for the Poor

State legislators make it sound as if the GAMC (general medical assistance for the poor and underprivileged making less than $7,800 a year) has been saved. Not so. It’s  been “transferred” to a state program that’s much too restrictive. Saving GAMC will be the center point of the 2010 legislative agenda of the Office of Social Justice — and it needs the support of all of us in the Archdiocese. Here are some steps we can take:

• Join others at a “Save GAMC” forum to strategize ways to sell legislators on the importance of saving GAMC. Saturday, January 23rd, at 10:00am at St. Edward’s Church just off Normandale Blvd. on 94th St. in Bloomington.
• Also mark down February 4th from 11:30am to 1:00pm — the first day of the 2010 legislative session — for a rally calling on legislators to fix the GAMC crisis and protect Minnesota’s most vulnerable adults by continuing to provide them with necessary health coverage.
