Key House Republican Vows To Change Medicare In 2017
ByLAUREN FOXPublishedDECEMBER 3, 2016, 10:26 AM EDT

The House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) told the Associated Press that Republicans plans to overhaul Medicare as early as next year.

Brady joins a growing number of voices in the House of Representatives who have signaled interest in changing the program even as Senate Republicans have pushed back such talk.

Brady, however, remained vague about what exactly he wanted to do. While House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has boldly doubled down on his own proposals for to privatize Medicare or what he calls "premium support," Brady was less clear about what he wanted to do.

It is still unclear what President-elect Trump thinks about privatization. He campaigned on a platform not to touch seniors' health care.

5. All changes won't affect those over 56

People under 55 are going to be screwed hard from Medicare to social security. It's going to be ugly. I'm 47 and don't look forward to the future at all.

2. Go ahead and try

Had this discussion with my brother, who lives in Pennsyltucky. The kiss of death to any politician is "he/she voted to end Medicare." The lie that Obamacare would hurt Medicare is why we lost so big in 2010. It's a huge issue in red lands. Keep your filthy government hands off my Medicare.

4. Do you believe anything Trump says?

It will sink in when mom and pop start asking their grown kids to help care for them.
