14. Rahm's brother, Zeke, wants to phase out Medicare. He's got power

in this administration.

Phasing out Medicare

"No one (I think he means to say "anyone") receiving Medicare, Medicaid, or any other government program will not be forced out, but there will be no new enrollees. People who turn 65 will simply stay in the Guaranteed Healthcare Access Plan. The special tax benefits related to employer based coverage will be eliminated and most employers will stop offering health insurance."
