Is anyone talking about the Medicare cuts?

Lawrence O. mentioned it last night, and I had read it elsewhere, that not only is this big ugly bill proposing to cut Medicaid by 700B, but it will also cut Medicare by 500B.

This is our money that they plan to give to the likes of Elon Musk as a tax cut....

Supposedly, we voted for a backstop so that if the Feds took Medicare, we would still be covered. But with the current issues with the CA budget, I saw an article last week that we might get screwn...

All I know is that I don't have (D) senators, and if I lose my healthcare I am going to have a horrific quality of life change
