"House Republicans have proposed a 2019 budget that, if passed, would gut Medicare and Medicaid over the next ten years. They are calling the changes reforms, but the nonprofit organization Medicare Rights calls them a rationalization.\nThe rights group says that, after passing the very costly tax bill that has driven up the deficit, the politicians now have an excuse to justify cuts to Medicare and Medicaid.\nProposed cuts to Medicare over the next ten years would amount to $537 billion. Medicaid and other healthcare programs would be slashed by $1.5 trillion during that time period. Oh, and Social Security would be trimmed by $4 billion.\nSupposedly, this would balance the budget in nine years.\n"
