There are no proposed cuts to Medicare though the premiums will continue to increase as they have every year. There’s also no proposed cuts to SS though there are changes that include increasing the retitement age which has been done before, making more income eligible for SS taxes, and an increased vigilance of detecting fraud and prosecution for those who commit fraud. No party is cutting SS checks as that would be political suicide.
