You are not paying attention.  The just passed big ugly bill cuts
a half-trillion dollars from  medicare.  Not to mention the gutting

 Not gonna happen, just wishful thinking on your part.  Three million people a year are joining Medicare (the last of the baby boomers), 65 million or so at the moment, and one million a year are leaving.  That is a huge voting block.  And seniors vote in the USA.

There are lots of people who can be persuaded to vote against their
own interests if they are told it will hurt someone they dislike.
The recent election is an example.
