I know many on this forum depend on medicare and medicaid. Trump wants to cut $800 Billion from Medicare and $200 Billion from Medicaid over 10 years.

As for waste in our healthcare system. It's just not a medicare or medicaid issue. It's a US healthcare problem. The US pays the most of all developed countries per capita for healthcare. We have the worst outcomes of all developed countries. It would be one thing if the cuts were due to a cut in costs. It's not. Costs will keep going up. Services are cut in this proposal.
I hear the reasoning of keeping politics out of this forum. But not all news is political. And this news, if it comes to pass, does directly effect caregiving. But if people rather not discuss it. I'm perfectly happy to let it die.

Also, I agree to keep politics out of this forum. There's plenty of other venues for that.
