WASHINGTON — When it comes to Medicare and Medicaid, the debt deal raises more questions than it answers.

the democrats are good at instilling fear.
Why can’t we cut expenditures for welfare, food stamps, and the Dept. of Education? Why do we have to provide prisoners libraries, dining rooms, and gyms? Why do I have to pay for child care for other people’s kids? Why do I have to pay for anything for illegal aliens?
I was forced to take my money and pay for 100% of my Social Security. Now, dammit, I am absolutely entitled to receive Social Security payments. Go after welfare folks and illegal aliens; they don’t pay squat.
“Why can’t we cut expenditures for welfare ... ?”
I know how to cut welfare spending in 1/2 immediately.
Drug test recipients as a condition of receiving benefits.
The democrat party mandated $600 billion in Medicare cuts in the ObamaCare totalitarian law.
The Regime Media will blame the cuts on the Republicans.
I have postponed a much needed surgery, because of this very issue. It would be a travesty, to have the surgery, and then have Medicare cut. I could then be facing a major debt, and possibly have to sell my home.
And I also agree with the above posters, who recommended cutting all the benefits from illegals who are literally robbing our system.
And, I also recommend drug testing on all the ‘entitled’ who are on welfare! You do drugs - you get no more freebies!
I don’t think that will work. Drug addicts are entitled to welfare payments, so probably some would deliberately add drugs to their system to get payments.

If we just eliminated medical for illegals, and capped malpractice at 500,000 + care, we could cut medical costs 30-35% OVERNIGHT
senior groups will be amongst those filing suit to challenge the constitutionality of the Super Congress
along with CITIZENSHIP...not a US citizen, NO entitlements. don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
don’t wait, have them schedule it right away before it is gutted.
try $8 trillion over 20 yrs.
Yorkie, not knowing all the particulars but my first thought was the same as Gails....get it done right away!
And may I say “ditto” on your other talking points.
Why do you think I had my drooping eye lids fixed, they covered 60% of my upper vision field, then the cataract done, now the dang thing is filming over. Which is not unusual.
You should hve the surgery now, IMO.
