Gee, you mean a plan from a filthy rich white guy who will never want for anything in his life is is not going over well with seniors like me? Don't mess with my Medicare!
Marilyn Moon, vice president and director of the health program at the American Institutes for Research, calculated that restoring the $716 billion in Medicare savings would increase premiums and co-payments for beneficiaries by $342 a year on average over the next decade; in 2022, the average increase would be $577.

Now that he has Paul Ryan hanging around his neck, he is stuck with this plan.
This will play well in Florida!

A few months ago, I heard a politician talking in the background to an elderly person about Medicare and the changes that the Republicans were planning on making to the system and how it would benefit her. Frankly, I wasn't really paying much attention at the time, and I regret that now because I can't recall who it was.
The woman seemed somewhat befuddled by it. Maybe it was her age. Maybe it was the uncertainty of it all. At any rate, the politician was trying to engage in what's known in sales as benefit selling. That's when you try to convince someone that something you want them to buy (or accept) is in their interest. That doesn't mean it actually is in their BEST interest, of course. Well, that's the moment when the politician told the woman the great news about Medicare vouchers. And that great news was that she was being put BACK IN CHARGE of her health care. Yeah, the gov't was going to get out of her way so she could be in charge by dealing directly with any one of several private companies who would compete for her business instead of the gov't getting in the way.
Of course I laughed. Being put in charge of your own health care was the equivalent of being lowered into a row boat in the middle of the ocean, being handled a couple of oars, and being told that you would be in charge of finding land. No, you wouldn't have to depend on the ship's crew any more. No, you're MUCH better off in that row boat depending on yourself.
But that's not the only reason I laughed. I mean, could someone please tell me how many private companies are actually vying to insure elderly people? I ask because I can't imagine that there are many who would want to insure a group with such a statistically higher rate of health problems.
An outright lie.i see the libtard menace is out in full lie mode today, as usual.
The plan does not eliminate Medicare. It gives older Americans a choice of continuing in Medicare, or vouchers for private insurance.
Suck to have a choice, huh libtards.
No it doesn't.
It eliminates Medicare.
It turns it into a voucher program and puts a cap on pay outs.
The intent..is getting rid of it entirely.
Excellent piece.http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/22/u...in-romneys-medicare-savings-plan.html?_r=1&hp
