I imagine if there are two basic narratives out there that people have about the political parties it's that Republicans want to cut your taxes and Democrats want to give money to poor and old people. The giving money to poor people part isn't super popular, but the giving money to old people one mostly is. Yes it should be a no brainer for a
Florida member of Congress to support Medicare, and it should also be a no brainer for the Dems to block cuts to Social Security.
