President Joe Biden and his supporters in Congress are positioning themselves as the protectors of entitlement programs, especially Social Security and Medicare. "So tonight, let’s all agree to stand up for seniors," he said in the State of the Union address.
"Stand up and show them we will not cut Social Security. We will not cut Medicare."
Notwithstanding the fact that the Biden administration is spending us into the poor house — making long-term entitlement appropriations impossible — but Biden is indeed planning a Medicare cut. And in the worst possible area of the program: Medicare Advantage.

I rounded these up as they were posted during Obumber's push for his piece of crap.
Military’s Tricare Life has already been gutted. Tricare Prime faces huge increases. Copays have gone up twice in the last 2 years, few private or chain pharmacies will take an ER script now. They want you to use the Base which has limited hours or Express Scripts, all Chinese-made generics.
Healthcare is coming back to bite the (D)ungbeetles on the ass. It’s only gonna get worse with everyone on the planet being given the green light to bring their freeloading asses here to scrounge off the backs of the American taxpayers.
Hey boomers, what comes around goes around. You voted for democrats for years now live with the consequences.
You’re painting with a pretty broad brush there. We’re boomers and have never voted for a single Democrat in our entire lives.
His record of how he handles things is proof he has no idea what is the right move on anything.
Indeed it’s a Obamacare program that Obama wanted to expand to full socialized medical care.
I blame the “greatest generation”.
They keep voting for Democrats from the cemetery!
the pedoPIG needs to go back to the basement and stay locked in there.
The only thing it does best is molest little girls.....
I suspect that’s the point when you’re spending trillions of dollars a year you gotta get the money from some place it was only a matter of time until they came for their savings which I think is the point of all that

Please do not paint all of us boomers with a broad brush.
I have hated and despised the Democrats for a long time.
I am innocent of your slander.
If you meant “those of you boomers” then that is quite true.
Those of us born between 1946 and 1964 include as President Trump would say about illegals “And some, I assume, are good people.”(2015)
Thank you
Agreed. Placing the part about voting for democrats was the implication to place blame on the subset of boomers who put us all here.
Average cost of health care per year:
US $12,000+
Next highest, Germany $8,000
Quality of care, not worth the money.
OUr system is broken and too costly. There has to be a much better way but it will never be found or executed. A lot of that $12,000 goes into lobbying against change or regulation. Instead we just have this massive ineffective quivering pile of crap for a health care system.
Most maintenance health care is far from rocket science. It could be done by a computer program and a QA kiosk for a hell of a lot less money, drama and complication.
This BOOMER VOTED for TRUMP! I knew what a shithead that senile old fool was. He told them so. It was the homos and tranies who put him in office, along with the fraudulent votes. Stolen Elections have consequences.

Answer a question dumbass
Do you think it was Boomers that passed all that crap in the 60’s ?
Thanks for that suggestion but like so many other things now, we know the problem and talk / write a lot about it but nobody has any solutions or even want any for that matter.
Long story but I’ll try to make it short. Mostly because I just don’t think it is worth the time to tell but it is an example that people know what is wrong, they just can’t get anybody to fix it.
I went to my doc appointment yesterday, doc wasn’t there and no expectation of when he would come back. An alternative was offered. I don’t play musical doctors, that is one way to get in trouble. The girl at reception was sympathetic and told me the place was falling apart, she was looking for a new job because of that. I agreed to a quick visit with a PA to get my blood test and prescriptions refilled. A nurse I know by name also was sympathetic and unhappy saying if Dr. X leaves the clinic will disappear because management all across the board was so off the tracks. She as much as begged me to call one of the administrators to complain giving me the direct number.
Punch line, the people in the clinic know what is wrong, they are trying to find a way to make someone aware of just how bad it is and fix it. Probably even management or the board know how bad things have become because they have brought the retired CEO back in.
It is a small rural health care system consisting of a hospital and affiliated clinic on the same location. It was once a good provider model, well thought out and two years ago it ran impressively by medical provider standards. Last fall the CEO and Doctor (my doc) who was medical director retired. From then and since then the system has continued to fall apart. The key doc, my new doc, is 77. He won’t stay long either if he can manage to leave.
We, the US, is busted all across the spectrum of things we are supposed to do to keep things running smoothly. Running smoothly so we are not fighting alligators all the time and can not only drain the swamp but innovate to make life increasingly better. All we do is fight alligators now and bring more into the swamp. Alligators and problems are the same just for the record.
I’m an old guy. I tried to make my corner of the world better when I could. Now I’m just trying to figure out how to live as peacefully as I can in a world still gone mad that I can’t change.
