Trump budget

When Obamacare took $700 billion from Medicare it did not cut any benefits to Medicare recipients. The biggest cut about $500 billion was to fees paid to hospitals and doctors. The rest was attributed to reducing waste in the Medicare program. Trumps budget shows a $2 trillion dollar cut to Medicare and Medicaid and social security. $1.2 trillion will be cut from Obamacare and this money will be forwarded to the states to care for these Medicaid patients. This money is not eliminated but re-prioritized. The cuts in Medicare will be the same as Obama when they reduced fees paid to hospitals and doctors. There will be a $25 billion cut to social disability programs by cutting retroactive payment from 12 months to 6 months.
