Obamascare wasn't meant to help anybody, it was designed to institute crippling premium increases so the masses would beg for single payer pubic option.....case in point, it was supposed to help the poor, down trodden masses, yet it left some 30 million w/o coverage.....
SSI they want to eliminate fraud and channel it back to what it was intended for.
Medicare was going to be pushed back on the states and grant funded from Uncle Sam.
I'm from the south, and there were stories when I was young about "B'rer Rabbit" and "B'rer Fox". In one of the stories, B'rer Fox had caught B'rer Rabbitt, who lived in the briar patch. B'rer Rabbit pleaded with B'rer Fox "Do whatever you want, but PLEASE don't throw me in that briar patch". So B'rer Fox threw B'rer Rabbit into the briar patch - giving him exactly what he wanted.
That's kind of like Obamacare. Obamacare told the American people "you MUST buy health insurance". And private insurers, who were the ones that were running Obamacare put up a big stink. "Oh please B'rer Obama...whatever you do, DON'T force Americans to buy the product I am selling". Obama should have listened to B'rer Coventry and created single payor. Instead - he threw the insurance companies 300 million customers. And insurance companies, getting EXACTLY what they wanted, hiked up rates because all Americans were ordered to buy their product. And when people complained, they pointed to B'rer Obama and said "he made us do it".
And think about the republican plan for Medicare - there was this thing called "Medicaid Expansion", where Medicaid as going to be pushed back on the states and grant funded by Uncle Sam. How many states refused Medicaid expansion? Why would Medicare be treated any differently?
