 You are not paying attention.  The just passed big ugly bill cuts
a half-trillion dollars from  medicare.  Not to mention the gutting
of medicaid, which will cause many rural hospitals to close outright.

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.
