And the major backer of this part of the bill is the Communist Sanders. Every senior should be told that in addition to all the other nonsense this bill contains that the Medicare change is part of their plan too. They need to blow up the phone lines and emails of their congress critters and speak out. But IMO the DS, congress critters and their puppet masters are going for broke so they don’t care. As long as Sinema and Manchin hold out the bill is dead. But seniors need to be aware of this provision and still raise a ruckus because Manchin could waffle even though his constituents don’t like the bill. Sinema is the wild card.
That would require the Rinos (> Whigs) to stand up and do something - shout it from the rooftops! It doesn't appear they are up to the task. sigh
