Donald Trump’s MAGA minion Bill Cassidy is saying the quiet part out loud: The GOP is ready to cut Medicare and leave millions of hardworking people out in the cold. Donald Trump and his shadow president Elon Musk are already taking steps to gut Americans’ hard-earned benefits — and now, congressional Republicans are making it clear they’ll do the same. 

WATCH: Donald Trump’s MAGA minion Bill Cassidy just floated cuts to Medicare in the GOP reconciliation bill.

Bill Cassidy: “Let’s look at Medicare. Is there some way that we can cut Medicare …”

FACT: Trump’s billionaire backer and shadow president Elon Musk is already gearing up to slash Medicare and leave millions of Americans out in the cold. 

Bloomberg: “Musk Says Entitlements ‘Big One’ to Cut in Trump’s DOGE Push”

“Billionaire presidential adviser Elon Musk called entitlement spending — including Social Security and Medicare — a key target for cuts …

“Musk, who is guiding President Donald Trump’s government downsizing effort, said Monday that entitlements with annual budgets of hundreds of billions of dollars were ripe for steep reductions. …

“‘Most of the federal spending is entitlements,’ Musk said in an interview with Fox Business’ Larry Kudlow. ‘So that’s like the big one to eliminate.’ …

“Democrats, for their part, have raised concerns that DOGE’s targets for spending reductions will mean that retirement and health care programs will be in the cross-hairs. Those worries have sparked a wave of angry constituents at town hall meetings, prompting some Republicans to cancel in-person events with voters.”

On his first day in office, Trump immediately rescinded the Biden-Harris order to lower drug costs, targeting Medicare recipients across the country.  

White House: “The following executive actions are hereby revoked: …

“Executive Order 14087 of October 14, 2022 (Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans).”

Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services: “President Biden issued Executive Order (EO) 14087, ‘Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans,’ to further address prescription drug affordability through the work of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (the Innovation Center). The Innovation Center tests innovative payment and service delivery models designed to reduce program expenditures while preserving or enhancing the quality of care furnished to its beneficiaries.”
