DeLauro Takes Aim at Republicans' Medicare Plan [Video]

Standing alongside Center for Medicare Advocacy director Judy Stein and Woodbridge resident Harvey Adelberg, U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro spoke against Republican plans to alter Medicare coverage in a press conference at in Hamden Wednesday.

DeLauro, a Democrat who has served 11 terms in Connecticut's 3rd Congressional District, has been a strong supporter of the Affordable Care Act, which she helped pass in congress in 2010. She said she rejects the Republican plan spearheaded by vice-presidential hopeful Rep. Paul Ryan, which would change Medicare to a voucher-based system.
