Washington – Looking at new payments for their breaking account for Donald Trump, Republicans investigate ideas to mitigate “waste, fraud and abuse” on Thursday, several senators.
And President Donald Trump blessed the search, they said.
“I think something that can be – it is waste, fraud and abuse are open to, obviously, discussions,” told reporters.
He said the Republicans were primarily looking at Medicaid to find savings, but that they were open to watching other programs.
“Focus, as you know, on solving waste, scams, abuses within Medicaid and, but we are now open for suggestions that people have about other areas, clear, waste, fraud in any government program,” Thune told.
Medicare was historically seen as a political railway, the programmen of both parties were careful for touching fear of older voters.
But Senad Kevin Cramer, Rn.D., he said that they should not be afraid of cutting waste in Medicare.
“Why don’t we go after that? I think it should,” Cramer said.
“Some people are afraid of the topic; I didn’t”, he added, notificing that they would focus on waste, fraud and abuse. “In my opinion, this is our moment as the Republicans in control of all three branches, and we should go after more fiscal responsibility. And some people express that handset.”
Senate Republicans said they discussed the issue during the closed door meeting and that the Republicans on the Republicans on the Financial Board of Senate met with him on Wednesday.
“What the president clearly did not see (he) does not want to see any cuts to users. But to go after that, he reiterated again – waste, fraud and abuse,” said.
Discussions open a discussion of politics that could have explosive political consequences. Medicare is a very popular program that health insurance provides health insurance over the age of 65, and democrats are already running attacks on new GOP discussions.
“The program that 66 million Americans relies on, fraud or abuse – it is life for components of Republicans who push in Gut Medicare,” Ken Martin’s Democratic National Commission said on Thursday. “Let’s be a crystal clean: Donald Trub has given the green light to approach the characteristics of the rescue and break health insurance for billionaire tax brochures. Deliveryes are as unpopular – and will cost republic seats.”
GOP leaders are looking for ways to reduce the costs of the Law that has brought the house, which would add 2.4 trillion projects in the National Debt in the next decades. It includes Medicaid and health consumption that Republicans describe as “waste, fraud and abuse,” for which CBO assessments would result in 10.9 million fewer people who have insurance.
However, some conservative senators insist on mitigating red ink for the account for the account. And it is unclear how narrowly or widely or widely, the Republicans would define “waste, fraud and abuse” when it comes to Medicare.
There is a skepticism in the GOP regarding this path.
“What a terrible idea. We shouldn’t touch Medicare,” Sen said. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.
“In 2004. year Bush Bush was re-elected and immediately tried to privatize social security, and Republicans did not win the popular vote for 20 years,” Hawley said. “So, if you never want to win the elections again, just cross around with Medicare people who worked hard, paid.”
Hawley launched similar criticisms when Republicans started after Medicaid for saving, but he said he supported most of the consumption in the home transferred account, including eligibility rules.
Interviews on Medicare came like news for some Republicans.
“I didn’t hear any debate on the cutting of Medicare. It’s a vital program for which people have earned I will never say, because I might not support the cutting of Benefina Medicare, R-Maine, told reporters.
The White House did not immediately answer the request for a comment that changes the trump card.
Potential Optional Senators mentioned a biparted account that would “improve the way in how the way the threats of Medicare assesses patient health risks and reduce care overpayments”, according to the description of the legislation. Bill, invited “Without a UPCode work”, “ They are sponsored on SENS. Bill Cassidy, R-La. And Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.
Recently CBO report They said that policies in the law could save $ 124 billion for 10 years.
“To say that he has double support is an underestimation,” Cassidy said NBC News. “I think that would be a reasonable way to protect ourselves, don’t interrupt us, you take care of patients, but you try to save the program.”
