Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Everything they steal just like they borrow comes with interest and every bit of it will be paid back with the interest and then some because there will be liquidation of those that benefit from that break. And we must insist upon that don't let up on that at all one damn bit
They’ve already raided my IRAs and drove my VA PC Doc off, touching me personally and the bastards around me have the fugg’n gall to tell me I’m overreacting. It’s just beginning and people will snap and react violently and they’ll say, see I told you they’re nuts.
And they don't cover a lot of stuff even if you get an advantage plan. A med I was on pre-medicare cost me $30 then went up to $180 after getting on medicare!
So was forced to switch to a less effective med that I could afford.
So far, not impressed. And it will only get worse.
Yeah. My one med on advantage plan is $152 monthly. Crazy thing is, last year it was only $54 monthly and I have the same plan. It went up. plus they took away all the perks.
They're gutting services we depend on to live. Now we should pay 1 billion to get a big beautiful plane ready for Trump to fly around in for a year or two. And then give it to him.
When the debit limit hits a limit it kicks off a pay as you go act that will strip $5 billion from Medicare. Leave it to Mega to find a way to hurt older Americans like me & Trump to push it.
I think that it will also affect people that have Medicare Advantage which is part of Medicaid. My mother has that. I understand it will be hard for them to get on private insurance along with Medicare. So much hate for people from supposedly religious people. 😢
So many have told me outright at the counter: It is cheaper to just die. They are depressed and what these fuckers are doing is equivalent to elderly abuse. Arrest them all. Our elderly are spiraling. It is horrendous.
No. They are not physically or mentally capable. What we need is the younger generation realizing they have no future and to get so fucking mad shit is burning. Until then… well we are all The Walking Dead.
Fascist Republicans are trying to fund tax-breaks for Billionaires by cutting Medicare & Medicaid. They know it will save thousands of lives annually if Billionaires pay the same tax-rate as working-class Americans. Republican policy: If the poor can’t pay their own health insurance, let them die.
For me monthly, Medicare Part B is $185 with a deductible of $257. Supplemental is $370 . My spouse also has Medicare Part B of $185 with a deductible of $257. Supplemental is $390 . Together we pay $1,644. Add Part D with about $333 monthly. That's $1977 monthly for us. Glad you mentioned this.
We didn't know this until her post made us calculate. We both have Soc Sec and two minor pensions. We aren't saving anything. Also we live mostly in Mexico where costs are lower. Alas, we have to return to USA since my spouse has enough dementia that my family can help if something happens to me.
Same here;over $5000 a year. So those republican creeps who call this an entitlement are liars and scoundrels. I paid into this system for decades and this amount is above and beyond that.
My wife is on a med for Chrons. > 3 years. Last week they sent a letter no longer covering that and the insurance rep suggested another med. They denied that one today after the doctor submitted that. Yeah, the medical insurance oliga-crooks are riding the front of this legislative wave.
Just the beginning. They'll continue to chip away more and more til it's gone. Every dime you and I paid into these programs over a lifetime of working, for our future benefit, will be lining the pockets of the 1% before they're finished.
I've been saying this exact thing since this orange turd came down the escalator. The right wants to end it, always has. Good lord, just go back to Reagan and Gingrich... this isn't rocket science.
And by making it so there's no accountability in media by getting rid of things such as the fairness doctrine. They wanted Fox News lies, otherwise no one would vote for them.
Historically, they have managed to make a bloody mess of things when they have had control of government. If voters were smart, republicans would never lead anything, ever again.
The should never use that term again, a conservative would be close to Santa Clause and the Easter bunny, when this term is over 1/3rd of the national debt will belong to the Trump terms
They love putting on the conservative armor as they think it makes them tough, my advise is all them tears will rust the armor so keep lots of oil on hand…… no one is coming to save you

Surprised ?
Robbing is what robbers do.
Fanatic robbers even more so !
It's an end around. They don't even mention Medicare in the bill. What they do is raise the deficit so much it triggers sequestration, which cuts numerous programs, including Medicare. They'll claim they didn't do anything on purpose. Oops.
Yeah, oopsy we didn't mean to murder tens of millions of our citizens, oh well... They are just poor people, who cares about them, right gop? #MagaMassMurderBill
Ok, I have a question. If our government officials cut out Medicare do I then receive the $185.00 that I pay monthly to have Medicare insurance? Yes folks that's right retirees PAY for their Medicare insurance. It ain't free.
What happens to the republican, retired seniors getting their daily dose of fox TV while pedaling their stationary bike at the free, Medicare funded Silver Shoes Program?? No more free workouts.
That reporter did a great job. I would be surprised if she was re-elected. Likely to still be an R, but a “different” R next election. political motto: Change the face, not the game.
That bitch is a lying murderer and she can't even face being questioned!?! She's a worthless lying ass! I hope all those people who voted for the death of millions of citizens, burn in f√cking hell!!!! 🤬🤬🤬☠️⚰️🇺🇲 They voted for the #MagaMassMurderBill! #TheRosesAreOnFire https://youtu.be/eG-EjHukmwU?si=WOxsaW2xlZcW0rUJ
The democrats need to block, filibust, lie on top of each other to block the doorway, dance naked in the house, whatever it takes but block this bill like they should have blocked his crap cabinet nominees.
Yesterday, FOTUS paid a visit to his party. He told them, Leave fucking Medicaid alone! That was repeated in the hearings this morning. I don’t think he even understands that Medicare will be triggered by raising the deficit. What a mess this is.
Those who will vote to rob Medicaid are secure in the knowledge that their health insurance plans are guaranteed and well-funded. How nice for them! s/c
Pay attention ALL Americans. Magas, dems, Indys and those indifferent, this bill does way worse than hurt Medicare. There are many non budgetary items buried in this bill that WILL harm us all for decades!
Unbelievable 20+ hours of testimony in Rules Committee from over 100 Democrats on the destruction this big ugly bill will cause — with “manager’s amendments” made TODAY that reportedly include more cuts that Dems have not been able to review!
Trump continues to lie and say that there will be no cuts to Social Security or Medicare/Medicaid. In his upside down world cuts are increases in service, we will have more care, more food, cheaper everything. In the real world none of that is true. Keep calling out the lies!
During his campaign he told his rallies that there would be no cuts to Social Security or to Medicare. He said they were off the table. Now they are in the middle of the table being carved up. Now that he is elected, the promises he made campaigning don't matter to him anymore.
And with the #GOPFascists having those #HeritageFoundation prigs writing their legislation you can BET that there will be even more "Gotcha's" hidden down in the massive turd of a bill that will destroy even more of our safety net to enrich the #broligarch asswipes!
TheGOP already did that a few administrations ago. And they never paid it back! My suggestion! Force retire the entire government until we’re out of debt! We lost most of our federal benefits already, so who needs the House or the Senate 🥶👍🧌

Explain to me, GOP, why you are so determined to rob the people of the people's money and hand it off to those who don't need it. Why do you hate ordinary people? Take their money and throw it away? Why are you against a healthier country, safer country, friendlier country?
Bye bye to any form of healthcare for the average American. Only the rich will be able to go to a doctor or a hospital. The rest of us will just lay down and die
On the + side, billionaires may find they won't get so many doctors & other medical staff, especially with the level of education being lowered. It also takes many yrs to train doctors ( & nurses & therapists). So,eventually medical shortages will hit them too, as well as less choice & lower care.
There is only a + side inasmuch as the richest will eventually suffer too for ruining the health service. And so they should! But it would, of course, be a much better outcome if they were not so hellbent on destroying universal healthcare. Their call!
They must be convinced that Putin and Musk will be able to hack enough voting machines to keep them in power. No Republican who votes to rob both Medicare and Medicaid to give Elon Musk a tax cut should be in a safe seat.
This is gonna be genocide by just another name. People will get sick and die because they will not have access to healthcare. Over 10 million people who lose their healthcare and what are they to do. They’ll end up dying in the gutter or their homes if they still have them.
This is proof of the pudding! Republicans could care less about Americans: their only raison d'etre is to make the rich, stinking rich, at the expense of the most vulnerable in society!
Man we have alot of work to do when we get back in control and they will fight to the death for their donors just to show their ignorance and most of them can't even write their own name but they will scribble it and say that's it if you can believe it....
I've been saying for the last three weeks, that American people who use Medicare benefits that the republicans will make us pay more from our Social Security. I've been saying for years that hospitals and medicine are destroying the USA. It has been going up for years by 20% to 30% on medication.
6 Generations under one roof. Abject poverty for most of us, as no one will afford healthcare, and elderly won’t be insurable. We’ll all have Grandma and Grandpa living with us.
Yup!! And they figured out how to neuter DOJ and the entire legal system! Founders only did 80% of the job. They quit before defining the penalties for breaking all constitutional laws!! Congratulations!
Beyond the cuts & tax breaks for rich this bill cements their agenda for the next 10 years. Taxes. Cuts to services. Immigration. Military spending. Sets up the stupid "golden dome" he wants. It brings every aspect of P25 to life & shoves it down our throats.
Remember when the lying so-and-so said he was going to do Healthcare better than Obamacare and then it never happened? Who told them covid was a hoax? And more conservatives died in red States? They gave that guy the power.
🤬While I'm not at all surprised, I am furious! F*ck them all & may God/Fate/Karma damn them all to hell for the people they will hurt & the completely avoidable pain & financial distress this will cause millions of senior & disabled citizens!🤬
Seniors have paid into Medicare their entire working lives so let's call this what it is ....Republicans are stealing from seniors and all working people.
"this bill, in addition to Medicaid cuts, in addition to Obamacare cuts, includes $500 BILLION WORTH OF CUTS TO MEDICARE that is now in this bill as well."
🇨🇦 free cancer treatment , free stitches , free specialists, no wonder why trump wants to take it away from us , your neighbours are doing ok . Don’t compare a third world to Canada in health care ,trump did it , Bernie was going to do it in the USA , but u voted for his dictatorship. Instead !
What a bunch of psychopathic criminals! How can they live with themselves, when robbing Medicare will mean a death sentence or terrible suffering for so many people? It goes to show that having too much money damages the eyes, brains & hearts of billionaires. All they can see is money & power.
Is this the cut that doesn’t kick in until 2029 or is that Medicaid? Someone told me this, not sure if it’s true. So ppl don’t feel the suffering until AFTER midterms and AFTER TFG is out of office?!? Say it ain’t so.
Of course they are. In the dead of night, Trump admin folks, Republican legislators, & their enablers are conniving to rob the poor and needy in order to enrich themselves.
It’s like they’re so easily forgetting the whole Mario bro incident and how desperate people without resources react to greedy and selfish authoritarian regimes.
(In addition to the healthcare cuts, this ‘budget bill is a Trojan horse of tax breaks for ‘favored’ businesses, removal of incentives for businesses that this Regime doesn’t like, restriction of 1/2
individual rights, removal of oversight and regulations that protect the people from pollution, fraud, discrimination, authorizes the sale of public lands, and a bunch else.) 2/2
Wow, well I’m screwed! I’m telling you, once I’m dead from not being able to get the expensive meds I need in order to slow the progression of my debilitating disease, I’m going to haunt the shit out of these haters! It’ll be like nothing you’ve ever seen before! 🙄

That's why I will not get another covid vaccination. They want to give it to those 65 or older and people who have health issues! Medicaid and Medicare! I am so sad for the country I love!
FAFO…the find out phase! Well, I’ve never been one to wish ill will on anyone else, but, the fact that we warned them, so many of them all the time and they chose to believe the orange 🍊 nightmare over their own fellow Americans really drives me crazy! They will be going down with the ship! 🤷🏼♀️
Well, all of those folks are certifiably loons. The followers, anyway.
Their leaders likely don’t believe a word of what they preach. It’s just a tool to control the Christo-fascist zombie hoard.
Are you one of the people who didn’t vote in November or did a “protest” vote? Republicans ARE the problem, but you only wrote about Democrats. Vote every elected Republican possible out of office, don’t elect any new ones, period.
And i did vote‼️ i vote in every election! Even the local school board and i don’t have children! I believe that every bodies tax money should go to education and local infrastructure!
Yes you have a valid point,but i have two D senators who voted for the last “ big beautiful bill”
They need to do more for the people than strongly worded speeches and letters‼️
Congressmen can represent their constituents if we make our voices loud and call every day so they know we’re not lazy and complacent. Tell them you do not accept cuts for the majority to pay more for the already obscenely wealthy!!
Moreso, they will increase tax in a few years on those making less than $15k a year & again in a few more years. Also, a little hidden clause prevents those who vote for the bill from being criminally prosecuted for doing so!
Reject fascism!
Revolution is now!
🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈🟧🌍💙
If Trump's beautiful plan goes through Medicare will lose nearly Half a Billion Dollars so rich people can have more money. Of course, Musk the richest person on Earth will get some money too.
While many of us Poor People Die because of disappearing Doctors and Hospitals.

If this bill passes, the Republicans can kiss their own asses because they will never ever be elected to hold any position in Congress, the Senate and other smaller political offices
No one gives a shit. They rape & rob & get away. It’s where we are. No one is stopping them. Hell, no one even cares, but us. He owns us all & we just have to bend over & take it, daily. Who can stop him now…?
Not one is man enough to even try. God, I’m so sick of it ALL. We are screwed to hell.
