These Trump and Musk Social Security cuts could mean that "easily the wait times will be extended by one year."

I just transferred an 11 year old to the ER from urgent care. He was so ill he was gray. He was the sickest kid I’ve ever seen and I’ve worked in children’s hospitals and level 1 emergency departments. He was unvaccinated.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits.
Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices.
Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators.
That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.
