There were cuts to Medicare Advantage Plans which are insurance plans.

The Republican Study Committee released an extreme budget that takes direct aim at Medicare and Social Security. Their plan:

Calls for over $1.5 trillion in cuts to Social Security, including an increase in the retirement age to 69 and cutting disability benefits.

Raises Medicare costs for seniors by taking away Medicare’s authority to negotiate prescription drug costs, letting drug companies raise prices without consequence, and repealing $35 insulin and the $2,000 out-of-pocket cap in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Transitions Medicare to a system that would raise premiums for many seniors.

Mr. Airforce, please allow me to present some few fact to you. I return to the past century. Mr. Wilson actually wanted the US to enter WWI. His inept handling of the peace following that war allowed France to create the setting for Germany to finally go to war and we got WWII. There are some books documenting the measures taken by Mr. Hitler to bring Germany out of the absolute devastation in Germany caused by French reparations. Mr. FD Roosevelt couldn’t wait to get involved in WWII and was financing the war before Mr. Roosevelt got his reason for entering the war.

You say Republican wars. Let me cite some numbers. Wilson, WWI US combat deaths 53,402; F Roosevelt, WWII US combat deaths 291,557; Kennedy/Johnson, Vietnam war US combat deaths 47,434; Truman, Korean war US combat deaths 33,686; Bush 2/Obama/Trump/Biden, Iraq war US combat deaths 3,836; Bush 2/Obama/Trump/Biden, Afghanistan war US combat deaths 1,833. I am giving Bush 2 the deaths even though the other three presidents had the option of ending those two wars at any time during their tenure of office.
Total US combat deaths under Democrat Presidents 395,779.
Total US combat deaths under Republican Presidents 5,669.
I have lived in the presidencies of all but Wilson in this list so in my life the Democrat presidents have been liable for 342,377 US deaths while the Republican presidents have been liable for 5,699 US deaths. Which is the warmongering party?

You really need to understand that anything you read in any newspaper is not necessarily truth but a slanted and biased article written by someone who wants to change your mind to his way of thinking. That is TRUTH about any and all news whether Democrat or Republican. Even the Peg here should realize that Fact Checkers are also very biased in the way they present the facts they are supposedly verifying as truth.

Your poisoning the well statement about Trump and Putin can also be said about Biden’s puppet, the little tin dictator in Ukraine who is nothing more and nothing less than a vaudeville comedian pretending to be a president.

I am registered as an Unaffiliated Voter. I do usually vote for the Libertarian candidate however.

I live in fear that Trump will win, and my social security that I have put into since I was in high school will be cut. Trump tried before to cut benefits and will try again. You have to ask yourself this: why is a self involved billionaire going to go to bat for you?

You appear to be what happens when DNC fantasies are chemically mixed with irrationality, liberal drool, gullibility, and then ignited.
I am appalled and wish to stay at la\east a quarter mile away. Preferably behind solid barricades. Praise God for more rational minds on OPP.

The raging avalanche of debt created by liberals and leftists and progressives and orchestrated by Democrats HAS to be dealt with. In the next few years. The Republicans have cooperated in kicking the can down the road. Time to deal with it, using only the very limited resources left available by the Democrats. How to do that without shoving Seniors into poverty, or bankrupting our working middle class, or destroying our economy by raping our wealthy even farther is the problem.
Trump has a chance of doing so. Biden and his handlers only thought is to sell off our country to China.
Choose wisely in November.

. That’s pretty much been the norm for the dem party: to blame the right for what they, themselves are doing. 🤨.

Try thinking about the 10 million illegals ‘sharing’ your SS and Medicare’ benefits you’re hoping to protect. Normal. But those benefits either going bankrupt much sooner or not getting these benefits/receiving reduced benefits thanks to sharing them with Biden’s illegals he’s breaking our laws to buy their votes with. They want you to share what you’ve spent a lifetime earning. Socialism. At least consider the consequences to yourself.

That statement always makes me lol … “Biden says….”. He habitually lies, will often state what his writers tell him to say, then in less than a week (or so), he changes what he initially said. Just give him an ice cream cone, let him sleep until noon and work only part time and he’s happy.

I’ve read her posts, millions of seniors fear what she fears. She’s only confused on who she places her trust in. For as long as I’ve paid attention to politics, the left has pushed this fear during election season, so they can more easily fool them into choosing socialized medicine.

The liberal media hasn’t helped either as they twist what Pres Trump has said he’d like to do into something totally false. They have no shame. I listen to/watch their 1/2 lies, partial quotes they’ve fed their viewership and this has repeatedly been an issue right before each and every election. Their intent is hard to not notice; strike fear in the hearts of the elderly, lie to them on who the culprit is, and they will support systems that have proven not to be in their own best interests. It’s a multiple decades old scam to win over voters.

Thanks for your concern, it’s appreciated but socialized healthcare is something I’ve substantially read about from the nations already engaged in it which have already been struggling to pay for their false promises. **Their elected healthcare decision making politicians are always in crisis over how much $$ they’re willing to spend to pay for it.**. Their citizens usually alway get a rare deal.
