Johnson’s Shutdown Freezes Social Security and Medicare Help

October 21, 2025

Out of touch Democrat Julie Johnson’s shutdown has snarled Social Security field offices and Medicare hotlines, forcing seniors to wait longer for checks, answers, and critical care authorizations.

“Democrat Julie Johnson’s shutdown is a gut punch to seniors who earned their benefits. While Republicans fought to keep things running, Democrats left retirees stranded.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
