Quite a few of my family members, including my wife jb and I, depend on Medicare for at least part or all of our healthcare. Staying awake at night concerned about where this all is headed.

A few Republicans are backtracking on Medicare cuts. Or at least the dirtbags are saying so.

@SenateGOP: Maybe if we lay off being legislative dicks in 2018, voters will forget just how dickish we really arehttps://t.co/DEFYSE4jI6

Most R’s apparently do not give jack sheet how popular it is.

#Medicare remains broadly popular across party lines.
Shares with favorable views:
Democrats 85%
Independents 83%
Republicans 74% https://t.co/CuXrv5yJ2G pic.twitter.com/7HkMjCKxNQ

However, who to believe?

Democrats?

"Let's vote against this #BernieSanders amendment to protect Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, tho. Our chumps, err voters, are too dumb to notice what we did." - @MarkWarner @SenatorDurbin @TomCarperforDEhttps://t.co/rw6ylgkaNQ

Heh. Lots of groups opting for not trusting Republicans or Democrats , encouraging keeping the pressures on Congress...

....

FWIW

If Congress doesn't act before the end of the year, Medicare will be hit with an automatic $25 billion cut in 2018 alone.

Take action: Send a letter to your legislators today, and demand they pledge to #ProtectMedicare: https://t.co/rJr56B9SP9 @DavidCertner pic.twitter.com/VCeYSmpGjP
