House Republicans Propose Social Security Retirement Age Increase and Medicare Restructuring
  • last month
A House Republican budget by the Republican Study Committee proposes raising the Social Security retirement age for future retirees to address rising life expectancy. The budget endorses bills restricting abortion, potentially threatening IVF, causing GOP consternation after an Alabama ruling. The RSC budget proposals, backed by over 170 GOP lawmakers, reflect mainstream party views and indicate the potential governing approach of Republicans should they win Congress in 2024. The budget challenges Trump on Social Security and Medicare as he offers shifting rhetoric without a clear reform plan.
