cut it anyway then deal with the 'consequences' in court. obviously.
- scarface_74 2y agoThe minute that Republicans allow one penny of cuts to social security, senior citizens - the most active voters - are going to abandon the Republican Party in droves. It might even turn Florida Blue again. If they cut Medicare reimbursements or force senior citizens to pay more, it will have the same affect. Modifying health care benefits that people already have has hurt Democrats in 2010 with the ACA and Republicans in 2018 trying to repeal it.
