It is a true statement. It has been a true since before Obama took office.

Medicare is forecast to become insolvent in less than 12 years. Knowing this what has Obama and his administration done to be sure there will be a Medicare for future participants?

Why, all of a sudden when someone like Ryan has a plan to be sure there is a Medicare in the future....do we now have Obama and even Biden (making a fool of himself yesterday) paying attention to Medicare?

However their subject is not Medicare....it is about discrediting Ryan. What did they have to offer as an alternative to make sure "Medicare as we know it will disappear?

They have turned it into Mediscare!!! Medicare as we know it will be done away with......BS!!

Do you know....like those you loyally support....that Ryan's plan does not effect current or near term qualifiers?
Do you know that it is based on having a REFORMED Medicare in place for those who are 55 or younger?
Isn't it a coincidence that works out to be the timing when the current Medicare as we know it disappears?
What is Obama's plan to be sure that the same 55 year olds or younger will in fact have a benefit?

If you don't know any of the above and you have been bad mouthing Ryan's plan then you should be ashamed of yourself.

I will ask two questions.

Is it OK to do nothing and let Medicare as we know it go belly up and disappear?

The second question is guaranteed to be less controversial....definitely not a partisan....no risk in answering from your peers...

When a traffic light is red ....it next goes to yellow followed by _ _ ? _ _.

Um.....blue?

If Paul Ryan's reformed Medicare plan is so great, it should effect all people not just those under 55.

Why is "the end of Medicare & SS as we know it" such a negative?

Simple. Because it takes power away from the government. The socialists don't like that.

Please explain what you mean by this remark ?

Do you mean that when medicare is revised, it should affect those folks already on it ?

Please explain....you are going against both parties here and maybe you are onto something new.

Just saying, if Paul Ryan's plan to overhaul medicare is really necessary, then there should be no cut off age. Everybody, including those over 55, should be effected.

Have you read the payment methods for the new health care law.

BOTH parties will CUT medicaire...BOTH....not just one side.....the healthcare law will cut medicaire by the same exact amount....

TRUST ME....IT IS NOT NECESSARY...IT IS VITAL.....the new law addressed it but in a sort of different way.

Something else for you to read...how we pay for the new law
