Medicare Trust Fund Under Fire: Critics Accuse VP Harris Of 'Highway Robbery' For Allegedly 'Violating' Vital Healthcare Resources
Story by LaToya Scott • 17h
Vice President Kamala Harris is facing criticism over a new Medicare policy that's stirring up controversy. Critics accuse her of backtracking on promises to safeguard the Medicare trust fund, sparking a fiery debate about whether the administration’s recent moves are helping or hurting the nation’s seniors.
Harris recently reassured the public that Medicare is a priority, telling AARP, "I will always fight to protect and strengthen Medicare for this and future generations." She emphasized that big corporations and wealthy individuals must step up and pay their fair share, which she believes will help sustain critical programs like Medicare.
But critics aren't buying it. According to the latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis, a program introduced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to keep premiums low could cost taxpayers over $21 billion in the next three years.
