Death Of a Thousand Cuts
Today according to National Public Radio the Republicans threatened to cut Medicare if the Democrats attempted to raise taxes on the rich.
Paul Ryan's plan, the Republican loss of the 26 Congressional District in New York, attempts to privatize SS, now this? Don't you people need Medicare? Without it, one serious illness will bankrupt you. |

We have the choice of doing something now or having nothing later. I prefer to take action now rather than having nothing later. The Ryan plan is the first to face this situation in a realistic way. It may not be perfect, but it is the only plan on the table at this time. |

The only thing that maybe rates as a Democrat plan, or scheme really, is to roll everyone into rationed care under the new and massive ObamaCare plan beginning in 2014. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion...5dtW4V48o6KM3H |
the only problem with the Ryan plan is it a total farce. It might be an attempt but it really a bad plan.

the affordable care act was an attempt to re-invent our health care system. Unfortunately the Dems are cowards and the party of no voted no on the entire package. By the way Ryans plan has a lot of the same basic parts as the affordable health care act. The other thing I find interesting is that NONE of the current Presidential candidates have endosed his plan. They are all dancing around it.

Stubborn Republicans
According to the AP in the Daily Sun -
GOP negotiators abandon bipartisan debt reduction meeting over tax increases. The Republicans walked out of the meeting blaming Democrats for wanting tax increases as part of the deal rather than accepting $1 trillion in cuts to Medicare and other programs. The Democrats do not support an approach that provides for a $200,000 tax cut for millionaires and billionaires paid for by a $6,000 a year hike in expenses and costs for seniors. |
Rich maybe the Pres is giving the Repubs some of their own medicine although I doubt it. It seems our President dislikes confrontation and caves to the Repubs at every turn. While I'm at it what with the moron from South Carolina walking out of the budget meetings because he cant get his own way. Now that's being a responsible adult. I just don't get why repeal of tax cuts for the richest is so foreign to your side.

Can't expect liberals to understand when someone actually holds a principled position and refuses to compromise those principles for expedience. Let's see how it plays out.

Also without Medicare there is no fee schedule, so everyone pays full price. |
Democrats save Medicare?
Quote:
By the way, unemployment is 9.1 %. Have the House Republicans extended unemployment? Where is their commitment to the Middle Class? Non-existent. You betcha. Follow the money. Every item on Fox News is designed to save corporations money. Tort reform, denial of global warming, establishing deadlines for the demise of SS and Medicare, etc., etc., etc.. When President Bush proposed privatizing SS, I don't recall a corporate match like they have for SS. The rich know that we will look to them when the Republican deadline for Medicare hits like an A-bomb. Follow the money. |
