SSA is “Fixing” Social Security Data; That Worries Us
It’s funny, because when Donald Trump was re-elected, we didn’t hear a hew and cry from the voters to prioritize “waste and fraud” at the Social Security Administration (SSA). In fact, we remember Trump promising voters multiple times “not to touch Social Security.” The opposite has happened. He and Musk and DOGE ‘touched it’ in ways that affect millions of beneficiaries who rely on the SSA.
It’s ‘Buyer Beware’ This Medicare Open Enrollment Season
This year’s Medicare open enrollment season – which began October 15th and runs through December 7th – should come with the warning: “Buyer Beware.” The Trump administration and its allies in Congress have made health coverage more costly and degraded Americans’ options by prioritizing insurance company profits over patients’ well-being, especially when it comes to the privately-run Medicare Advantage (MA) program.
Trump & GOP Candidates Have Pushed Social Security Privatization, Cuts
It’s been quite a week for Republicans telling us how they really feel about Social Security – from the President to GOP candidates in key races. On Wednesday, President Trump admitted that he wanted to privatize Social Security “so badly” after he won in 2016, but “Democrats and some Republicans” stopped him, because it was “risky.” You think?
Trump’s $90 Medicare Rebate — Another Gimmick Masquerading as Policy
Instead of meaningful action to lower Americans’ health care costs, Trump has announced yet another publicity stunt. He has promised some 20 million Medicare Part B enrollees a one-time, $90 rebate. Of course, this does effectively nothing to lower Americans’ health care costs, which Trump/GOP policies have made increasingly unaffordable. The Republicans’ Big, Ugly bill slashed nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid – and the GOP-controlled Congress refused to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits. These actions have put immense upward pressure on Americans’ health care premiums.
Trouble Ahead for Medicare Advantage & Medicaid Patients
For years, Medicare Advantage (MA) providers have marketed their plans with celebrity endorsements, promises of extra dental, vision, and hearing benefits, and the appeal of low or zero monthly premiums. But for millions of older adults, that illusory promise of stable coverage is colliding with a harsh reality. Unsatisfied with profits, insurance giants like Humana, United HealthCare and Aetna are pulling out of some markets entirely, leaving Medicare Advantage patients stranded. People enrolled in these plans will be forced to look elsewhere for their coverage in 2027.
