Paul Ryan’s Death Panel: Medicare Vouchers

[upstatecajun]

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan is clamping down on Medicare, attempting to replace benefits with vouchers, however, he’s reiterated, saying he wants to “protect” people who are 55 years of age or older, in order for them to have Medicare exactly as it exists today.

Elderly Americans can not utilize a voucher if insurance companies barely accept elderly clients without charging an exorbitant fee, and most of them have a preexisting condition.

Insurance companies are for profit, not to aid us when we’re in despair. Mr. Ryan is protecting the insurance companies.


A new McClatchy/Marist poll has 80 percent of Americans opposing cuts in Medicare and Medicaid spending to reduce deficits

1. Protect?

If you die in your 60's you'll be protected from the health problems that plague 80 year olds.
