Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) speaks during an event with the Economic Club of Washington at the Capitol Hilton Hotel October 26, 2021 in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Drew Angerer\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 12:30 PM PT \u2013 Tuesday, October 26, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Moderate Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) says the role of government should be \u201cyour best partner, not your provider.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill on Monday, Manchin said he\u2019s concerned about expanding programs like Medicare through the reconciliation bill. He pointed out Medicare could become insolvent by 2026 and stressed lawmakers should act to stabilize the program before expanding it.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin asserted the government should only provide for people who are unable to provide for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we\u2019re not being fiscally responsible, that\u2019s really concerning. But let me make one statement to you all. The best way to know who I am and I\u2019ve always been politically, in my political life, I\u2019ve always said, I believe that government should be your best partner,\u201d said Manchin. \u201cBut it shouldn\u2019t by your provider. We have a moral obligation to provide to those who have incapacity, such as physical or mental, but everyone else should be able to help and chip in and all that. So, that\u2019s my mindset. So, we\u2019re working all towards that. I think we understand each other better on those ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin also told reporters he believes Democrats could reach an agreement on the framework of the reconciliation bill sometime this week.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sen.
