They want to funnel the $ we pay into Medicare into their pockets.
Next thing will be you don't get Medicare unless you've had health insurance from years 62-64 leading up to 65. They'll raise the retirement age to 70, knowing full well that more people will die and never receive any Medicare benefit. They'll means test it. They'll cap the benefits. They'll stop covering certain diseases and procedures.
Once they've successfully kicked millions out of their coverage, it will be easy for them to cut the benefits of those lucky enough to still have benefits.
Once they do that, they use the Medicare payroll tax $ collected from us to close the holes they've create throughout the budget by giving more tax cuts for the rich.

When the folks lose their coverage, the revenue stream will be gone.
