Bernie’s (not such a) Surprise Medicare Bill
Democrats want to add benefits to a program already going broke.
Well just throw another 6 tril at it, right Karl Sanders?
The contradictions keep piling up in the $3.5 trillion (more like $5 trillion) budget bill, and one of the biggest concerns is Medicare. The hospital trust fund is set to run dry in 2026, and Democrats worry that expensive drugs aren’t affordable. But then why do they want to add hugely expensive new coverage for dental, hearing and vision care?
Democrats dislike Advantage because it reduces government control over healthcare. So they want to require that traditional Medicare cover benefits that seniors are already getting elsewhere. Talk about wasteful spending.
