@Sen_JoeManchin tells @kaitlancollins Social Security and Medicare cuts are off the table in Congressional budget negotiations:
Who knew Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump could agree on something? When speaking about the impending debt ceiling showdown to CNN, Sen. Sanders said he agrees with Trump's statement that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are 'crazy.'
Dirty Business: Joe Biden: "If Republicans try to cut Social Security or Medicare, I will use my veto pen to stop it." RT and say thank you, Joe Biden--the hell with those damn Republicans.
Opinion: Why would Republicans rule out Social Security and Medicare reform?

@DeeJay25V @bstovalljrM @RichardCheek19edicare is 65, not 62. Be careful if you could wind up with an Obamacare policy before 65 and take any sort of distribution before then; basically ANYTHING including tax exempt interest goes into MAGI and will basically get clawed back as your subsidy is destroyed.
@crzymorse @RichardCheek19W @bstovalljrell there is in fact no fix for Medicare and of course Medicaid. CMS is approximately 80% unfunded on a cash basis. Nobody would accept a 5x tax increase and there is already no cap. The answer is to put every medical monopolist in prison NOW -- or worse.
Here are big coverage gaps to look out for, what to know about them, and how to appeal a Medicare claim denial if you believe your care is covered.

Do I have this right: Republicans added ~$7 trillion to the national debt under Trump, but now they want to make cuts to Social Security and Medicare before raising the debt ceiling?
Good morning. If Republicans win this fall they are going to pass a national abortion ban, eliminate the $2,000 Medicare cap on drug prices, and put a sunset on Social Security. You know why I know this? Because they keep telling us.
This is what happened when people in the U.K. were asked how much health care costs in the U.S. Remember that our outrageous for-profit system is not the norm in other countries. We can and we must do better. We need Medicare for All now.
We've been told over and over that Medicare for All is "too radical." I think it's radical to have a health care system that leaves 87 million people uninsured or underinsured. I think it's radical that people can't afford to see a doctor during a pandemic.
