They’re cowards and not going to help us. They’ll throw the country away just to keep their jobs and keep the insurrectionist militia off their doorsteps.

Project 2025- Privatize Medicare. Make the default option Medicare Advantage (MA) PRIVATE health coverage. Corporations will control what care Medicare enrollees can and cannot receive. CEOs will decide when it is no longer cost effective to keep providing healthcare to grandma and grandpa.

60 million seniors (like me) are on Medicare. All of us folks will march on Washington, attack the White House, and hang Trump from a fucking chandelier if he ends it.

MAGA chuds will twist themselves into all kinds of gymnastics and support anything that comes through Trump/musk. They are in a cult. They don't care. All they care about is "owning the libs". They don't care about high prices of anything calling it their duty to support the US with the high prices.

Just my opinion but if they do try to go for Medicare, medicaid, etc that that will be what pushes everyday people, Democrat and repubs, over the edge and shit truly hits the fan....

Medicare and Medicaid have a lot more support than DEI programs. I’m expecting a fight. 18% of the GDP goes to healthcare in the US. They’re messing with a lot of pockets, let alone a lot of lives.

Should I have said 2026?? I always get your dates wrong. I think your House reps get elected every 2 years but the senators are elected every 6 years and even then, only 1/3 of them at any one time. Is this correct?

Oh, how I wish he would try. That would be the red line for MAGA. Go for it, Orange Stain! Unfortunately, he still fantasises that his unbalanced supporters will use those guns to protect him if/when he pulls another major stunt like Jan 6th.

There are no known Republican congressmen that have a spine or an ounce of moral fortitude to do the right thing. They are all compromised and fully indoctrinated.

Red State citizens need to call their congressmen! Most EVERYONE relies (or will rely) on Medicare, regardless of party affiliation. And we have all paid into it if we ever received a paycheck.

Everyone with MAGA (Republican preferred) reps or Senators needs to apply major pressure. A few can be heros, save America and write their own ticket to political stardom. Only first movers get the glory. Tell them to hurry and vote with Dems to dump rump

I’m with you. Just scared. Republican Congress people are such cowards, I just don’t trust them to take a humane position. I sure hope I am wrong on this! I’m thinking of John McCain right now. That vote was too close.

He ALWAYS adds a rhetorical flourish that obscures the point. It's not Medicare "as we know it." It. Is. Medicare. It is Medicare that gives your elderly relatives access to the medicines and treatments that preserve their lives and allow them to continue to be productive citizens. Period.

If all in a purple district can start calling your Republican Rep that is the best chance to get one to flip especially if both parties voters can start calling. Talk at the seniors centers at your church & start calling.

There was no way all the trump voters on Medicare could have predicted the candidate that wanted to get rid of socialized medicine would come for THEIR socialized medicine

Tell them how the market will crash if they do this, I'm on Medicare, but my pension is in the market, just like millions of others, #WTF .. how stupid do you have to be to even contemplate such evil 😈

I'm on Medicare, my husband is on Medicare, my two Autistic grandchildren are on Medicare, every senior I know is on Medicare. The mere thought of dismantling Medicare is sheer evil. There will be a revolution and my family will join it.

Republican (and a few cowardly Democratic) politicians seem intent on protecting their jobs even at the cost of the lives of millions of Americans. There's a name for that: syc·o·phant a person who acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage

Democrats should let MAGA sink or swim & force the GOP House to pass any further legislation with their majority. If MAGA can’t govern- e.g. drive the government into a shutdown or default- or refuse to fund disaster aid- It’s on them! Playing nice has gotten Dem’s nowhere- time to play hardball.

End it? IT’S OUR MONEY! Musk wants to end it? Every American should be out DEMANDING every single dime they paid in returned to them. And if they say they can’t then it should come from Musk since he’s the illegal moron doing this.

Hilarious! And this is why we struggle. Exactly WHAT indication is there that even one Republican is willing to be primaried? If Bill Cassidy isn’t willing to vote against an anti-vaxxer, the expectation that any Republican will have the decency to break ranks isn’t admirable…it is delusional.

Whichever way it goes...it's no benefit to us. If they vote for it, Medicare is sunk (very bad result). If they vote against it, Rs will get credit for "saving Medicare" and will somehow turn that against us.

Geez, this really is not going well. Dems must step up to the occasion. Hakeem and the rest need to stop using silly names (puppets, second-lady, etc) when referring to these vicious fanatics, raging autocrats. Words matters. These are hard core psychopathic criminals.

If they don't this is definitely going to impact many lives in Red States. If the three Republicans or more don't step up now they will when this news hits Kentucky, South Carolina and North Carolina just to name a few Red States. It's okay with them when the abuse doesn't reach them, but this will.
