"Voters needs to know three things about Ryan’s Medicare reform proposal co-sponsored with Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden.Also you need to know that Obama has already pushed and passed a $700 BILLION cut in Medicare funding to help pay for Obamacare. And they are trying to convince the American people that it's Republicans that are trying to cut Medicare? Please.
- First, no one over the age of 55 would be affected in any way.
- Second, traditional Medicare fee-for-service would remain available for all. “Premium support”—that is, government funding of private insurance plans chosen by individuals—is an option for those who choose it. No senior would be forced out of the traditional Medicare program against his will.
- And third, overall funding for Medicare under the Ryan-Wyden plan is scheduled to grow at the same rate as under President Obama’s proposals. Is this “gutting Medicare” and “ending Medicare as we know it”? In reality, it’s the market giving seniors cheaper, higher quality choices they can take if they wish, with the traditional program remaining an option."
As Internet humorist IowaHawk tweeted on Saturday: "Paul Ryan represents Obama's most horrifying nightmare: Math."
And Paul Ryan turns out to be an excellent teacher - making complex issues very understandable. Get a taste of his talent here:
