What Republicans ARE saying about social security and medicare

Reverse Social Security’s glide path to bankruptcy, predicted to occur in 2034 if policymakers don’t make changes. The plan seeks to ensure the long-term solvency of the entitlement program, guaranteeing benefits for Americans who are retired or close to retirement. It would increase benefits for low-income retirees, eventually raise retirement age for receiving benefits, and gradually lower benefits for high-income earners.

Turn around Medicare, predicted to go bankrupt in 2028 unless benefits are cut for seniors or steep tax hikes are implemented for those now in the workforce. The proposal would allow traditional Medicare benefits to compete with private plans, to reduce costs and spur innovation. Seniors would continue to have access to fee-for-service benefits, and premium support would be tied to the cost of traditional Medicare.
