Coming soon, we will be talking numbers.

Everyone is talking medicare cuts, let's look into it, shall we?

Where Is the Medicare Money Really Going?
Let’s keep the numbers simple, round for easy understanding.

✅ The current Medicare budget is about $900 billion per year.

📉 There’s a proposal to cut $900 billion over 10 years; that’s $90 billion per year, or roughly 10% of the annual budget.

👥 Medicare currently serves around 67 million people.

Now, here’s where it gets concerning:

📉 "Experts" estimate that cutting 10% of the Medicare budget could lead to 8.6 to 15.9 million people losing coverage. That’s 13% to 24% of all beneficiaries.

Let that sink in.
If just a 10% cut results in up to 24% of people losing coverage, what happens if we cut more? At that rate, cutting just 40% of the budget could mean no one is left with coverage.

Which raises the real question:
💭 Where is the remaining 60% of the Medicare budget going?
Is it being spent efficiently?
Is it reaching the people it’s meant to help?
Or is it disappearing into administrative overhead, mismanagement, or worse—waste and inefficiency?

And here's something else to think about:
🧐 When people argue against budget cuts, are they truly defending the needs of patients?
Or are they, perhaps unknowingly, defending the 60% of the budget that seems untouchable?
Could there be interests benefiting from that untouched slice of the pie?
It’s time we started asking harder questions—not just about how much we spend, but where and for whom.

Let the discussion rolling. Comment and share.

More official renders of Starship including the tanker, depot and HLS lander just dropped! I still think HLS should drop anything not needed after TLI (Raptors / Tankage)... Source: https://t.co/EFZUTJ6wWS

@RadioGenoa From 36% to hust 8%, that is almost a 5 fold shrinking.

@LeadingReport If Zelensky cannot manage Ukraine to secure the funds his plan requires, it is time to hold elections and transfer leadership to someone capable.

Is this going to happen?

[Leading Report @LeadingReport]

BREAKING: Former President Joe Biden’s mental decline could be used as evidence to overturn some of his pardons or executive orders because his senior staff have failed to prove he knew what he was signing amid accusations of cognitive impairment, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says.
