end medicare, medicaid, social security, and all forms of welfare (including corporate welfare). seriously, what the fuck is anyone gonna do about it? why are productive people being held hostage by greedy geezers and lazy bums? we don't owe them anything. medicare is so far from solvent it isn't even funny. do seniors care? no. they feel entitled to your money. we DO need death panels in this country.

The ryan MediGUT plan hands outs more tax cuts for the rich and pushes the burden on the taxpayer by handing them worthless vouchers to benefit their cronies in the insurance industry to do with you what they will. it will wind up costing Medicare recipients at least $15,000 more per year. If you're 55 and younger, forget about it. They are soft selling MediGUT it by calling it "a Cadillac Plan" and they are "saving it". The ENTIRE Republican Congress voted to GUT Medicare.

What Health Care Reform did for Medicare according to the AMA. It does NOT cut Medicare benefits; it increases them. All original benefits remain intact with added benefits. Seniors now receive free annual health care checkups (no deductibles and no co-pays), and drug benefits are improved. The law closes the bush (pharma giveaway) “donut hole” for drugs.

Ryan's MediGUT Plan Produces Far Less Real Deficit Cutting than Reported.

His plan consists of $4.3 Trillion in Program Cuts, Offset by $4.2 Trillion in TAX CUTS, Yield Just $155 Billion in Deficit Reduction. Ryan is fudging the numbers. source: Center on budget and polices.

The "dr. fix" was taken out of the Obama care plan in order to LIE and say that Obamacare was deficit neutral.

[ToddAldrich]

"This budget fixes the Medicare physician payment formula for the next ten years so that Medicare beneficiaries continue to have access to health care. It provides for a reimbursement system that fairly compensates physicians who treat Medicare beneficiaries while providing incentives to improve quality and efficiency."

again, DIRECTLY quoted from the plan - this is referring to the money that the Democrats REMOVED from Obamacare that pays doctors who take medicare recipients - the "Dr. Fix"

[ToddAldrich]

The Ryan plan in it's entirety.

Some excerpts:

"This budget ENDS THE RAID on the Medicare trust fund that began with passage of the new health care law last year. It ensures that any potential savings in current law go to shore up Medicare, not to pay for new entitlements."

*caps were mine

Obamacare STOLE money from medicare

[ToddAldrich]

And yet I am the ONLY one here quoting from the actual bill.

You obviously have something to hide because you refuse to deal with the actual bill, instead relying on smear attempts.
