Times are hard and getting harder. This cut will affect lots and lots of us.

The USG has to pay for the unnecessary tax breaks for the oligarchs and the unconstitutional war being fought against Iran on Israel's behalf.

One of my buddies is so happy to just get $90 a month from the VA for a medical issue he suffered in SE Asia and a modest social security check every month.

Wait until the Republicans start raiding those funds.

One of my physicians recently prescribed a medication for me. My "co-pay" part was $3.50 per daily pill.

This Medicare proposal would likely cut the Medicare payment portion, resulting in my having to pay $about $10 for a pill I need.

""We are stabilizing the market so this bailout is no longer needed. Premiums will go up by less than $10 for most Medicare recipients, with many even seeing lower premiums," CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said in a post on X.

ANOTHER FUCKING LIE FROM MUSLIM QUACK

Why do all the articles about this say this is ending, when it's based on law which the tiny-fingered, ferret-wearing, cheeto-faced shitgibbon can't unilaterally change?
