House Republicans work to revive an essential ‘death panel’ commission proposal against Social Security, previously hinted by Kevin McCarthy on Fox News, which has Progressives calling out the massive threat.
“Progressives on Tuesday sounded alarm over a proposal tucked into a new House GOP budget blueprint that would establish a bipartisan commission to review and propose legislative changes to Social Security and Medicare.
Nancy Altman, president of the advocacy group Social Security Works, noted in a statement that “the White House has accurately labeled a commission as a ‘death panel’ for Social Security,” referring to a Biden administration spokesperson’s response earlier this year after House Republicans and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) floated the idea of a bipartisan commission for the program.
House Republicans’ new resolution, unveiled by House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington (R-Texas), revives that proposal, which has previously garnered support from several Democrats.”
