‘Just absurd’:

Flood of ridicule as Trump readies executive order to stop ‘socialist destruction’ of government-run Medicare

Trump is planning later this week to sign an executive order

to “protect” Medicare, a government-run program, from “socialist destruction.”

the executive order, which Trump is set to unveil Thursday during a trip to Florida, is part of a concerted attack on the push for Medicare for All,

reminiscent of the infamous “keep your government hands off my Medicare”

the idea that giving government healthcare to everyone somehow means taking it from people who already have government healthcare is just absurd.”

Others recounted Republicans’ vehement opposition to the creation of Medicare in response to Trump’s fearmongering executive order

the order could call for further privatization of Medicare by expanding “plans offered through Medicare Advantage.”

Trump’s executive order could mean attempted cuts to the crucial program, which covers tens of millions of elderly Americans and people with disabilities.
