Very immoral. Wrong. She worked for 35 years. Now let her rot correct?

Yep.

Trump got his votes, King Donald doesn’t need rural people anymore. He can go back to servicing billionaires.

another billion saved by Trump! winning

Only a few million. Barely enough to cover tRump's green fees.

YOu guys ready?

First to go is telehealth visits.

I'm not sure how that's gonna save money. I mean sure, they can cut the program but those people still need care, so they will need facilities to handle more in person visits. I can't see that being cheaper than telehealth visits.

Anyway, you can be sure this is just the opening salvo.

Oh, gosh. The article you link cites a budget plan submitted in the House of Representatives by the House Budget Committee.

Obviously, you know nothing about how Congress works. It is way, way too early to be citing a budget plan as law or to be setting dates for proposed cuts to begin, when the plan has not even been discussed and voted on in committee yet, much less the entire House, not to mention the Senate and then the subsequent Senate-House conference version.

Absolutely right. They have already been educated on this but, as you know, it doesn't fit
their mantra so they ignore it, redact it if you will.

I think you are being fair to kind, in
My experience dembot voters are below average

Only a few million?? Geez you rich dembot voters really don’t care who’s money you waste…sad how out of touch with reality you are

Honestly I think Telehealth should remain. My grandfather had dementia, heart issues and diabetes. It was nearly impossible to take him to a physician. Telehealth coupled with his nurse practitioner saved him until his problems forced us to make the decision for a facility.

I'll add he was in a rural area. Telehealth certainly helped

I agree. I don't have a car, and I'm not the only one. Also, many appointments don't have a blood test, or necessitate you to be there in any way.
Telehealth is just as good, cuts down road traffic & air pollution too.

If you have a million to toss around, I'll take it.

Why do you not have any car available?

I get rides & for free. Don't have a car because I cant afford it, on retirement income (social security & VA pension).

I am starting to fear our social security may be messed with.

This may be overly harsh but you did not plan for yourself in a normal fashion. Thus get on the phone with every sniffle because it’s very convenient and soothing while others foot the bill
This “thinking” is epidemic among most liberal philosophy. Hooray for me-screw others

Group-was I overly harsh or spot on?

Hilarious...."others foot the bill". He paid into Medicare. You seem to think older people and the poor affect the budget.

If SS and Va benefits can’t equate to having a car then what lesson is conveyed here.? Medicare well may decide that the expense of far more frequent phone visits is not beneficial to all Medicare recipients.
I paid in also but can’t call the shots as to how it best serves me.

Correct, benefits that currently exist and have existed for a number of years are being cut under the Trump Administration.

Technically they are not being "cut" they were due to expire in 2025. Congress just isn't reauthorizing it.

There are telehealth now.

Under the Trump Administration they will end.

That's a cut.

Word smith all you want, it's a cut and the section of the population this is targeted to cut benefits from is mostly rural communities. The beauty of it is those are core Trump supporters he's boinking.

LOL.

It sounds like this was a temporary measure to help people with covid, it wasn't supposed to last forever. Hence the 2025 sunset date.
