I wonder when all assistance to their elderly parents is cut off, if they plan to support them. Somehow, I doubt it. Then it will be time to open up the "poor houses" again. Good job conservatives!
Romney is all for Paul Ryan's plan, which would gut Medicare. First, the Paul Ryan Medicare plan would be voluntary. Why? Because if it becomes voluntary, it will be much easier to phase out... which is the plan. Also, if it is voluntary, it will be more expensive to join. He also raises the elgibiity age.
How about the fees levied on the insurance industry, pharmaceutical companies and device makers? And what about closing the Medicare doughnut hole? The health care law closes the prescription-coverage gap at a substantial cost. Would Ryan reopen the hole? He doesn’t mention any of that. Why? The plan is to phase Medicare out.
How about the regulations, set to go into effect in 2014, that say insurers must sell coverage to everyone (guaranteed issue) and end the practice of setting prices on the basis of risk or health status ? Again, he doesn’t say. Why? The plan is to get rid of Medicare.
So Grandma, who gets social security ahd a little pension and who'll be barely getting by will be getting a " voucher" . You can just imagine how that will work. Why are Medicare and Medicaid increasing? Because health care costs are increasing. What does Ryan's budget do about health care costs? NOTHING. It just moves those costs onto the backs of the poor and the middl...

LOL OP BLOCKED ME BECAUSE I OWNED HER WITH THEY FACTS TYPICAL LIBERAL< ONLY WANT PPL WHO SUPPORT THEIR VIEWS
OBAMA = FAILURE
Obama has taken 500 billion from it, interesting that you want to blame the GOP. More liberal lies . The Forbes story is just another in a long line of higher cost ‘discoveries’ hidden in Obamacare. Medicare plus the new “glitch” alone adds up to $950 billion in cost overruns for Obamacare in its first decade alone.
That is slightly higher than the total cost for all of Obamacare estimated by the CBO for its first 10 years ($940 billion). And its main benefits don’t even kick in until 4 years after the bill was signed into law!
It should be noted that the CBO in 1967 underestimated the cost of Medicare in its first 10 years. By 1977 Medicare cost 8.8 times MORE than the 1967 CBO estimate. If the same error holds true of Obamacare then it will cost $8.3 trillion by 2021, about $7.3 trillion more than budgeted!
What effect do you think that will have on budget deficits and the National Debt?
The Obama health care law also raised Medicare payroll taxes by $113 billion over 10 years, further strengthening the program’s financial condition, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Since about half of the $500 billion stems from reduced outlays for Medic...

Since about half of the $500 billion stems from reduced outlays for Medicare hospitalization expenses, the payroll taxes and those reductions would add about $358 billion to Medicare trust fund balances why do Liberals constantly blame the GOP for what the Democrats do???
Romney said, "Obamacare takes $500 billion out of Medicare and funds Obamacare!!" Where did Willard get that? Michelle Bachmann, Tea Party Chief Loon.
Wrong. That $500 billion is future SAVINGS over a 10 year period. Nearly $220 billion comes from reducing annual increases in payments that health care providers would otherwise receive from Medicare. Other savings include $36 billion from increases in premiums for higher-income beneficiaries and $12 billion from administrative changes. A new national board will be tasked to identify $15.5 billion in savings, but the board -- the Independent Payment Advisory Board -- is prohibited from proposing anything that would ration care or reduce or modify benefits. Then there's another $136 billion in projected savings that would come from changes to the Medicare Advantage program. Currently, about 25 percent of Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan.
People need to understand the implications of no reform. It would be a world where costs would continue to escalate rapidly and we would all be affected in some way. Employers would have to cut salary increases further in order to maintain existing health coverage. Either that, or health coverage itself would be reduced or eliminated, which we have been seeing already. Higher premiums, higher co-pays and deductibles, fewer procedures covered. If that plan is so great, why aren't other countries scrambling to copy it?
