DeSantis Will Not Protect Medicare And Social Security For America’s Seniors

 

DeSantis has voted not to protect Medicare and Social Security for seniors.

 

As a congressman, DeSantis voted to raise the eligibility age to 70 to receive full Social Security benefits—in 2013, in 2014, and in 2015.

 

Before DeSantis was even elected to Congress, he said it was “necessary to make reforms” to Social Security.

 

On DeSantis’ first day in Congress, he called “to restructure some of these entitlements,” such as Social Security.

 

In Congress, DeSantis voted twice to cut Medicare benefits in 2015 and 2017.

 

A disciple of Paul Ryan, DeSantis said in one interview, “I would embrace proposals like Paul Ryan offered, and other people have offered, that are going to provide some market forces in there, more consumer choice, and make it so that it’s not just basically a system that’s just going to be bankrupt when you have new people coming into it.”
