Ryan says it's not a "voucher" because the government would send the payment directly to the insurer

[YewNork]

Then, maybe we should tell him that he's not really paying income tax.

His employer is just sending some money directly to the IRS.

1. If that's not a voucher, what is?

[nonperson]

2. More Republican double-speak

Right out of "1984".

Ryan is an ass hat and he has plenty of like-company in his party.

[YewNork]

3. He's implying that a voucher (or coupon) would have to be some physical piece of paper.

OK, so it's an eVoucher.

14. Good one!

4. direct deposit to the insurance companies who give to his campaign?

Payback, corporate welfare -- take your pick. :shrug:

8. Well, how else are insurance companies going to stay in business?

Given that health insurance companies don't provide anything of value, yet add enormous costs to consumers who want health care... how else will these folks stay in business if we don't prop them up with these kinds of scams?

After all, isn't that what this country is all about? Government of, by, and for the corporations?

5. Needs a strong Democratic opponent in 2012. C'mon Janesville, whaddya got???

[Donnachaidh]

10. there IS a strong local Dem already in the running

But I'm having a brainfart trying to remember where I saw the interview -- Cenk or Lawrence had him on just this past week.

13. Not Catanese. Rob Zerban. Haste makes waste.

6. So what?

It's still privatization of Medicare. How do the mechanics of payment matter?

[BonnieJW]

7. No mention

of how a senior on several meds, heart disease and diabetes would be able to find affordable private insurance coverage.

9. admits it's a direct bribe ...

would Ryan be all for the voucher if it went to Planned Parenthood? A Muslim doctor?
