Pelosi Endorses Expanding Means Testing In Medicare, Greater Cuts To Health Care | House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she would support cuts to Medicare and Medicaid during an interview with CNBC on Friday, just days after progressives criticized the more than $400 billion in health care cuts included in Democrats’ proposal to the Super Committee. Pelosi also endorsed expanding means testing in Medicare — “wealthier seniors can pay more,” she said — but stressed that the cuts should target costs, not seniors’ benefits.
