Supports Our Union Rights.

Fought for Affordable Health Care.

Sen. Akaka voted to protect seniors from steep increases in their premiums and supports fixing the fl awed Medicare drug program. He also voted to save Medicaid from $14 billion in cuts. (www.akaka2006.org; S. 1932, Vote #287, 11/3/05; S.C.R. 18, Vote #58)
