- LOL, the jokes don't ever end do they?formed
- Their math is wrong. If medicaid growth rate is 10% - 39 Billion per year - and you only increase by 7, is that not a cut? (10% is an example)dorf
- dorf that is correct.monospaced
- OAN logo looks like a fake news channel logovwsung18t
- of course it's fakemonospaced
- the only thing real here is the massive increase to medicaid spending on the GOP plan and that Elizabeth Warren is a fat liar.********
- it's not massive relative to what will be required a year or ten years from now.dorf
- $70B is pretty massive. Not as massive as Obama doubling the national debt to more than $19T which I'd call super massive.********
- to say that 70 billion over 10 years is a massive increase is being disingenuous. you can disagree, I don't care, just call it what it is - a cut to medicare.dorf
- So if a 20% increase is not enough, based on your projections, what would be a better number?********
- Because the current plan being $393B, spending more doesn't sound like a cut. Unless you're planning on having more poor people brought into the country?********
- Or you figured out a way to create more poor people for the country. Maybe kill off the farming sector jobs because fertilizer can be bad for the environment?********
- if you look at the population trends, baby boomers will account for the largest group on medicare in the next 15 years. poor people are a small group.dorf
- I would like to see spending in line with current estimates.dorf
- By 2036, those projections are expected to peak, up by 10% for the millennials 18-34 (2015). 20% should more than cover the costs********
- where are you getting these numbers?dorf
- Pew Research********

- as the boomers get older they're going to use medicare therefore increasing usage. healthcare costs are rising so 7 billion per year will cover everyone.dorf
- *not cover everyone.dorf
- 2045 is a long ways away for those who were 35 in 2015.********
- I don't understand what you're trying to argue. millennials have nothing to do with this discussion.dorf
- Neither is medicare, so...********
- I mean, it could be... idk********
