Mitch McConnell: We must cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security to reduce the deficit

[BS Filter]

In 2015 Heller voted for rhe Ryan budget to slice $140 Billion from future Medicare budgets. He has already shown his cards on the issue. He has already voted to reduce rhe budget.

Let me show you folks how easy this is. Do you believe free medical care should be provided by the government for every citizen?

 

[BS Filter]

This is absolute crap! The senator has never, ever said anything to corroborate this. Rosen is desperate and is slinging all the slime she can think of - true or not.

Ya, Heller will go against Republican efforts to cut Medicare and Medicaid. He will stand alone against all the Republicans calling for reductions in Medicare and Medicaid benefits. Sure he will.

You idiots do this every election. Nothing but scare propaganda. The American people aren't going to fall for this again.

Are you denying Republicans are not suggesting lowering Medicare and Medicaid benefits?

Yep, not for those already on Medicare. No one is going to go without healthcare. There are plenty of clinics for the poor in this nation.

People go without healthcare now. There are not plenty of clinics for rhe poor. Free clinics are rare.

No, they don't. If anyone needs care, they get it. There isn't anyone dying in the streets like you want us to believe.

you feckin 'seniors' are old anyway Camp . What good is there in keeping you old , unhealthy , frail senior guys going over the good of the USA even if the 'pap' you post was true Camp ?? [just my attitude Camp]

It's rather obvious to anyone with 8th grade math skills that we have an issue with certain entitlement programs going forward. The issue is how to pay for what we've promised people. Now you can demagogue those responsible enough to want to try and fix those problems or you can work to solve those problems. One is a rational approach and the other is nothing more than politics as usual. What you shouldn't do is pretend that there isn't a problem!

I think one way to ensure that those that pay into a government program get what they paid for is to cut off the people that didn't pay into the program from getting benefits. Too many people receiving Social Security and Medicare that didn't pay into the system.

I know people who go without proper medical care because they can not afford it. People who work and have a small income often do not qualify for help. Not enough income for help but to much for assistance. Also, Medicare has a deductible. Some can not afford the 20% co-pay and do without. Plus, without par D, costing about $75 per month minimum, prescription drugs can be out of the question.

Do you believe everyone should have free healthcare?

To be eligible for social security retirement and Medicare you have to have worked for at least 40 quarters (10-years) paying into the system.


Social Security Retirement and Medicare are not the same as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and MedicAid which provide some basic income for blind, disabled and elderly persons with little or no income).

Medicare will become bankrupt in 2026 unless its fixed. The "no action" option is not an option.

Social Security will cut benefits in 2034 unless its fixed. The "no action" option is viable if paying 79% of benefits is acceptable.
Social Security must reduce benefits in 2034 if reforms aren't made - CNNPolitics

Medicaid and welfare need to be eliminated, let the states fund those "charity" programs.

"Future", key word. No cuts for those currently on it.

Du-uh! The average FOX viewer is on Social Security.

Sen. Heller of Nevada would rather find savings by reducing Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans benefits than use one or more of the options for strengthening or improving those benefits.
Persons with incomes of many millions of dollars per year still qualify and collect SS and Medicare benefits.

---------------------------------- might be DISABLED but my point is that they are FOREIGNERS that never worked in the USA Camp .

I was addressing your statement that people that don't pay into Social Security Retirement and Medicare receive those benefits but don't pay into them.

They don't.

I think Social Security Retirement, Medicare, SSI, and MedicAid should only be available to US Citizens.

Social Security and Medicare can be easily fixed but Heller represents the "greedy" rich.
