I am reading today how the dem's are afraid of Medicare being cut and blaming the Republicans ... I have reviewed the overall budget plan, and it does not mention Medicare once.
Now that doesn't mean Medicare will not be cut ... but it is true that the only ones talking about cuts in Medicare is the Dem's (at the present time).

Donald Trump has always had trouble keeping a story straight. But even by his own standards, the president’s flip-flop last week on Medicaid cuts was executed with dizzying speed. That pirouette should worry not only the millions of Americans on Medicaid, but those drawing Medicare and even Social Security benefits as well.On Tuesday, Trump and unofficial co-president Elon Musk sat for an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity. “Social Security won’t be touched, other than this fraud or something we’re going to find,” Trump said. “It’s going to be strengthened but won’t be touched. Medicare, Medicaid, none of that stuff is going to be touched.”

 House Republicans rammed through their budget blueprint late Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump intervened to pressure wavering members to vote for the resolution, which jumpstarts the process of enacting sweeping cuts to Medicaid and other programs to finance trillions of dollars in proposed tax cuts primarily for the rich.Just one Republican — Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky — joined every House Democrat in voting against the resolution, which sets the stage for $880 billion in Medicaid cuts and $230 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance

House Republicans who represent large numbers of Medicaid recipients are pushing back on their leaders’ plans to slash billions in funding for the insurance program for low-income people.That dissension could grow considering that President Donald Trump has made the GOP more appealing to the working class. Republicans rely on low-income voters more than they have in decades, with Trump the first Republican presidential candidate to win the poorest third of the electorate since the 1960s.A POLITICO review of enrollment in Medicaid by congressional district found that 11 Republicans in competitive seats represent larger-than-average Medicaid populations — collectively nearly 2.7 million recipients. A vote to cut the program presents a politically sensitive decision that may come back to haunt them in 2026.With a 218-215 House split — the tightest in modern history — Republicans will be fighting for every seat during the midterms to keep control of the chamber. And they can only lose one vote in the House and still pass their budget bill.House Republican leaders plan to use Medicaid cuts to pay for tax relief, border security and energy production in the coming weeks.“The bulk of these cuts would have to be in Medicaid, and that’s why they’re not going to get the requisite votes they need to get it passed with the margins that they have right now,” said Bill Hoagland, senior vice president at the Bipartisan Policy Center and a former GOP Senate Budget Committee staffer. “Leaders are going to have a lot of difficulty getting the votes to pass this resolution.”
 

-----------------------------------------------
And some Republicans in the Senate have begun pushing back against major cuts to Medicaid. Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, where more than 21 percent of the population is enrolled in Medicaid, told HuffPost he doesn’t support massive cuts to the program that House Republican leaders are weighing.

Hawley joined Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) in the early hours of Friday morning in backing a Democratic amendment to the Senate budget resolution that would prevent tax cuts for the wealthy if any Medicaid funding is cut. The rest of the Republican caucus voted it down.

Others are reticent to refer to the changes Republicans are considering — like adding work requirements and per capita caps — as cuts.

“There are going to be some adjustments to it maybe, but I don’t think they are going to cut anything,” said Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, where about 18 percent of people are enrolled in Medicaid.

And former Trump strategist Steve Bannon earlier this month warned

Only cuts to Medicare will be fraud and waste.

LOL  ... After 4 years of biden ... you really want to talk about a President not telling the truth ... lol 

The facts remain ... Medicare is not even mentioned within the budget plan AND the only ones talking about Medicare is the Dems. In reality all you are doing is making a case for cutting Medicare ...  I'm starting to think it is the Dem's that wish to cut Medicare..
