Seniors on Medicare to receive $90 payments for premium costs, Trump says | AP News

The White House said the $90 payments for seniors will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund, established by Congress in 2008 as flexible funding to improve program operations and payments to health care providers.

Medicare Part B enrollees can expect to receive a one-time payment in October, either through direct deposit or by check, the White House said. Total monthly costs for the program — which covers costs like doctor’s visits, ambulance services and lab tests — start around $200 and vary with income.

Wait, I thought everyone was supposed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. It’s their own damn fault that they don’t have enough to spend on healthcare. They’re just a leach on society. Might as well just let them die.

Right, Republicans? Right!?!
