I’m on medicare and I think there is some room to trim it. Why should wealthy old people get free groceries as a reward for getting sick, while younger people suffer with huge Obamacare premiums? It’s absurd.
The answer to Medicare is to cut costs for hospitals and medicine through open transparent bidding. Trump tried to get that started but the GOO establishment, servants of big medicine and big pharma, blocked him.
GOP establishment. Read: McConnell and Ryan, slaves to big business including big pharma and hospital cartels
Because they paid the taxes/premiums for it all their working lives.
Sorry for the young people’s high Obamacare premiums, but they got what they voted for.
What does Medicare have to do with groceries ?
.
I am assuming you at least paid taxes toward funding those benefits over the years. As we contemplate cutting back, we are offering unfathomable benefits to hordes who have never contributed a dime to this country. Many of those never will. Cut these out before we cut off the tax payers.
That is bait dangled by Medicare Advantage plans and plan buyers are actually paying for those groceries, in higher premiums, reduced benefits, restrictions on service providers, etc. Traditional Medicare provides no groceries.
I may be wrong but I think you’re a little confused from watching commercials on tv. I think you’re confusing Medicare Advantage programs being offered by private insurers with the government Medicare program.
The “wealthy” people contributed more than their share over their whole working life. Now you are OK taking it away. The harder working younger people are now paying more than their share for healthcare. Why not just go totally socialistic? See if the harder working people continue working.
If you're rich and feel guilty, donate your SS to those less fortunate. Maybe pay premiums for supplemental Medicare for those that have less. Many ways to help others.
Politically, Trump is 100% correct.
