Senate Republicans have no intention of making cuts or changes to Medicare or Social Security programs, according to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
McConnell made the declaration at a Feb. 14 press conference at the Capitol when asked whether Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) should disavow a plan he proposed last year that would require all federal programs—including Medicare and Social Security—to expire every five years, requiring reauthorization from Congress.
